The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) recently released sample question papers for class X and XII board exams 2021. The question papers follow a new exam pattern, wherein the students have more internal choices in a particular section and subsequently, the marking scheme has also been revised. Several academicians are concerned that the new pattern may add to the increasing number of high scorers and make the competition for higher education tougher.
AN Ramachandra, Joint Commissioner (Academics), Navodaya Vidyalaya Samiti, says, “MCQs and internal choices can help in testing the skill. If the question paper is set with the simplest form of questions then it will allow students to learn more about the applicability of concepts. Having memory-based questions can tamper with students’ creativity. However, students need to be careful that they do not apply the rule of elimination of wrong answers while attempting the questions with multiple answers.”
Basavaraj B Kunchanur, who teaches in Kendriya Vidyalaya No. 1, AFS Sambra, Belagavi, Karnataka, says, “Traditional learning has been on hold for several months amid COVID-19 and the syllabus has also been reduced. Hence, changing the exam pattern and marking scheme is one of the effective ways to get back to the regular academic cycle,” he adds.
