Sufficient gap between two subjects, competitive exams in mind
CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said sufficient gaps have been kept between each examination to allow adequate preparatory time for students. "While preparing the date sheet, the board has kept in mind that there is a sufficient gap between two subjects," he said. The CBSE has also ensured that Class 12 students preparing for competitive graduate entrance exams have ample time after board exams.
CBSE changes method of assessment
Earlier in December, the CBSE notified major changes to its assessment methodology for exams. It will no longer award divisions and distinctions to students. It also said the decision to determine the five best subjects to calculate a student's required marks for admission/employment will be taken by the concerned college/employer. "The board does not calculate, declare, or inform the percentage of marks," it said.
Sample papers available for class 10 and 12
Meanwhile, the CBSE already released sample papers for Classes 10 and 12 earlier this year. To familiarize themselves with the pattern, students can check them out on the board's official website: sample papers for Class 10 and sample papers for Class 12. These sample papers help the students get an idea of the exam style, time limits, and question difficulty of main board exams.
