Key Observations

Here are the changes introduced by the Board for CBSE Class 11 and 12.

Changes in unit-wise weightage for Physics Class 12, Chemistry Class 11 & 12, Biology Class 11 and Maths Class 11 & 12.

There are major changes in the design of the question paper and examination pattern for Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics.
In Biology, there is a change only in the unit-wise weightage for Class 11, while the paper pattern remains unchanged from the previous year for Class 11 and 12.
Maximum marks for Maths has been reduced from 100 to 80 with 20 marks for internal assessment.
Objective-type MCQs have been introduced.
‘Analysing and Evaluation’ and ‘Creation’ are new question types.

The introduction of objective-type questions/MCQs can help students score more marks in the paper. In addition, students will get more time to answer theory-based questions and can provide analytical and creative responses.
