Explanation

The Education Commission (1964-66), chaired by Dr. D.S. Kothari, recommended the 10+2+3 pattern of education, which was accepted by Parliament through the 1968 National Policy on Education resolution. This pattern meant 10 years of schooling (up to secondary), 2 years of higher secondary, and 3 years of degree-level education. It replaced earlier patterns like 10+3+2 or 10+2+2.
