CBSE 10th, 12th Exam: New Assessment And Evaluation Policy Announced – Check New Assessment Scheme
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to roll back the two term board exam system 2022-23 onwards, and go back to the traditional once-a-year exam pattern.
In addition, it has made several changes to the evaluation scheme, including alternation in weightage given to different types of questions.
As per the recently announced assessment policy of board exams 2022-23, there will be at least 40% competency-based questions in Class 9th and Class 10th. These questions can be multiple-choice questions, case-based, source-based integrated questions or any other type of questions.
In addition, 20% of questions will be objective-type and the remaining 40% will be short answer or long answer type in 2022-23 Class 10 final exams. In class 10 term 1 and term 2 exams of 2022, 30% of the questions were competency-based.
Similarly, for CBSE class 12 final exams, a minimum of 30% of questions will be competency-based in form of multiple-choice questions, case-based, source-based integrated questions or any other type of questions.
Also, the objective-type questions will carry 20% weightage and the remaining 50% will be short or long answer type questions. Earlier, the portion of competency-based questions in Class 12 board exams was 20%.
