CBSE Class 10, 12 Term 1 Exam Guidelines Out, Date Sheet Expected Soon 

New Delhi, 14 October 2021 – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released Term-1 exam guidelines for Classes 10 and 12. The date sheet for the same is expected to be uploaded soon on CBSE’s official website. The comprehensive set of guidelines for Term-1 exams illustrates that skill subject exams will begin on 15 November 2021, while main subject exams will commence on 24 November 2021. The guidelines also state that exams will be carried out in multiple-choice question (MCQ) format and each exam’s duration will be 90 minutes. The MCQs will include case-based and assertion-reasoning type questions, where each question will carry equal weightage. 

CBSE Class 10, 12 Board Exams Divided Into Two Parts

Earlier, Class 10 and 12 half-yearly exams were conducted by schools and these had no weightage over final board results. However, keeping the current pandemic in mind, CBSE has now split the board exams for both Classes 10 and 12 into two parts: Term-1 and Term-2. 

Term-1 will commence on 15 November 2021, while Term-2 is scheduled for March/April 2022. The final result will be calculated on the basis of students’ performance in both Term-1 and Term-2 exams. Students must note that practical exams for Term-1 will be conducted by schools, while practical exams for Term-2 will be conducted by CBSE.
