The concept of Open Text Based Assessment (OTBA) was introduced by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) with a view that multiple modes of assessment are needed to cater to the varied abilities of individual strengths of learners. This concept is meant to develop higher order thinking skills and analytical abilities, which would ultimately help in banishing the concept of rote learning.
