CBSE has revamped its evaluation system in line with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. The changes are particularly noticeable in the Class 11 and 12 board exams, with a focus on more aptitude-based questions and less traditional questions.
The new guidelines dictate that the weightage of MCQs/case-based questions, source-based integrated questions or similar aptitude-focused questions has been increased from 40% to 50% for Class 11 and 12. In contrast, the proportion of response questions (short and long answer type questions) has been reduced from 40% to 30% for the academic session 2024-25. Selected response type questions (MCQs) remain at 20%.
