CBSE Board Exams 2025: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has already announced the dates of class 10th and 12th board examinations. At the same time, the complete datesheet will be released by the month of December. Earlier, CBSE has changed the exam pattern. Students who will appear for class 11th or 12th examination in the 2024-25 academic session will have to prepare their study plan based on the new exam pattern.
What changes did CBSE make in the exam pattern?
CBSE has decided that the number of long answer and short answer questions in the exam will be reduced so that the weightage of the questions on students can be reduced. Instead, there will be more competency based questions in the paper, that is, more focus will be given on MCQs questions in the paper. Concept based questions include multiple choice questions, case-based and source-based integrated questions.
Till now, 40 percent of the questions in the 11th and 12th exams were concept based, but now in the new session i.e. 2024-25 exams, the concept based questions have been increased to 50 percent. At the same time, 40 percent of the questions in the paper were long answer and short answer, which has now been reduced to 30 percent.
Sample papers will be released soon
The board will soon release the sample papers for CBSE Class 10th and 12th Board Exams 2024-25. In the last few years, CBSE used to release sample papers for children by the month of July. It is expected that this year’s sample papers will be uploaded soon. CBSE has not yet given the official date of release of sample papers, but it is expected to be released by the first week of September.
Advantages of sample papers
Sample papers can prove to be helpful for students in the exam. These papers help students understand the pattern of the final paper. This lets them know what kind of questions can be asked and what kind of preparation they will have to do. Solving sample papers helps students identify their weaknesses and improve them. CBSE Board releases sample papers for students well before the exam so that students can prepare for the exam. This year too, students are waiting for the sample papers.
