New Delhi: In a significant overhaul of the examination scheme, the CBSE will conduct a 10 and 12 class council examinations in two parts of the current 2021-22 academic session, with the first question to be objective while the second term exam will be subjective.
, There will be no overlapping syllabus and the final value will be given based on performance in these two exams, which will bring the same battery.
The council issued a detailed guideline for a pandemic academic session which was hit by a pandemic on Monday.
However, this scheme, according to senior CBSE officials, will continue as a new Board’s rating system.
For the current session, the first term objective exam will be held in November-December 2021, while the second term exam with subjective questions will take place in March-April 2022.
“When the situation is normal, the board will do the term I exam in October-November and The term II in February-March and for full syllabus, “the official said.
According to the CBSE guidelines, the Board will arrange the term test I in a flexible schedule with a 4-8 week window period for schools located in various parts of the country and abroad.
Question papers will have multiple choice questions with a time limit of 90 minutes and for the pandemic period, will only include the syllabus of the term rationalized I.
At the end of the second term, the board will set II II.
This paper will last 120 minutes and will have subjective questions from various formats.
“However, because Covid-19, if the situation remains not conducive to normal descriptive examination, the 90 minute MCQ-based exam will be carried out at the end of the term II too,” the official said.
Student responses will be captured on the OMR sheet, which after scanning can be uploaded directly on the CBSE portal or uploaded alternatively by the school on the same day.
“Students will study only the specific syllabus intended for certain recent examinations.
There is no part of the first term syllabus that will be part of the second-term examination and vice versa,” CBSE official said.
Learning from the Covid-19 situation, CBSE also sees an online exam option as an exexiation measure.
“Because the Pandemic exam was postponed and canceled.
So the online exam is one of the models that are also planned,” the official said.
For the Pandemic period, the Board has decided that if the situation increases, the exam will be carried out at the school / center and the theory sign will be distributed evenly between the two exams.
However, if the school remains closed in the November-December period, students will take my term online / offline exams from the house and the weight will be reduced while the term test II will increase for the final declaration.
In the reverse scenario, the same rule will apply.
But in the case of school closure for the exam, the results will be calculated based on internal / practical assessment / project work and signs of theory from the term I and II exams taken by candidates from home.
