The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has said that the Board will present questions based on the application in the 2021 class 12 board exams.
“There will be more questions based on case studies where students will be given a paragraph and they will have to answer questions after reading the paragraph. This will test students on their reading, comprehension, interpretation and response writing skills and move away from root learning, ”said Joseph Emmanuel, director, CBSE academics, quoted by Indian Express.
Previously, these questions used to carry a note, but it is likely that from 2021 these questions will be translated into short or long questions. It should be noted that the CBSE has already published sample articles based on the new format.
Emmanuel said: “This is a small step towards the vision of NEP. The real change will come when teachers begin to teach based on skills-oriented education and not on grade- or test-oriented studies. “

The CBSE plans to introduce this change so that the board’s exams are “competency-based”. These questions will help assess students on their ability to understand and apply concepts in real life.
“Our goal is for students to know how to apply the concepts learned in class and study with the aim of learning and not writing the exam. The National Education Policy (NEP) says that there will be different ways to select students for admission to college, if that happens the board exams will be low participation and will be an application basis. This is a small step in this direction, ”said Emmanuel.

It should be recalled that the CBSE had already reduced the curriculum by 30 percent for the upcoming board examinations, as the coronavirus pandemic caused the closure of schools for about six months.
