The CBSE board exam for 10th next year will not be divided into two terms but just one final exam. The board has also revised the syllabus.
After holding the 10th exams on a reduced syllabus for nearly two years, CBSE will return to a 100 percent syllabus. The board will also return to a ‘rationalised’ syllabus, which it will rationalize once again with the help of experts.
The exams will be held for 80 marks, as since 2019, as many as 20 percent of marks have been awarded to internal assessments or practicals.
The practice will continue this year, too. For students’ benefit, there will be internal choices in the exam. CBSE announced in 2020 that it will offer as many as 33 percent more choices in board exams.
The CBSE board has also released the sample papers for board exam 2025 at the official website, cbseacademic.nic.in.
The Board issues Sample Question Papers (SQPs) and Marking Schemes for class X to provide a broad template to serve as a guide for ensuring uniformity and proper coverage of the curricula.
Further, SQPs give a broad understanding about the Question Paper Design and need to be used for classroom teaching and learning activities, focusing on promoting the application of concepts in real-life and holistic learning.
