 Almost all the subject are added for internal

assessment except English, Mathematics,

Political Science are some examples with no
internal assessment .
 CBSE introduced internal choice in 33%
questions in the year 2019. The same will
continue in 2020 too. This has been
extended to all the subjects. Now students
will find 33% internal choice in all the sections
in the question paper in all subjects. Thus,
students will have plenty of options to choose
the questions.
 Another good news for students is, CBSE will
put 25% objective type questions including
multiple-choice questions in all the subjects.
It means, there will be at least 20 Marks
questions out of total 80 marks will be
objective type questions. Now the subjective
questions where students need to write
detailed answer will carry only 60 marks. In
other words, the overall 60% of assessment
need to write answers in detail. Rest 40% is
objective type and internal assessment.
 Let’s find out the need for change in the assessment
process. As per CBSE circular, the Board has always
stressed that its students must acquire the skills of
critical thinking, problem-solving, analyzing
information, collaboration, effective communication,
developing curiosity and imagination as part of the
learning process. Further, there is a need for
exposing the students to different types and formats
of questions in the year-end/Board examination, so
that a large range of learning outcomes can be
assessed. CBSE also emphasized on future-ready
assessment tools to get ready for PISA (Programme
for International Student Assessment) in 2021.
 The nomenclature for the two examinations
will be as follow:
 Mathematics-Standard: For the existing level
of examination
 Mathematics-Basic: For the easier level (they
cannot take math as subject in 11th and 12th )
 CSBE has called the move ‘learner-centric’
and said that the need for school-based
‘internal assessments’ is increasing. With this
rule being implemented, the regular theory
exams will be conducted for 80 marks
instead of 100 marks.
 The board examination schedule will be split in
two parts – main courses and vocational
courses. The class 12 board exams will be
conducted from 15 February to 3 April and class
10 board exams from 21 February to 29 March.

 The examination will take place from 10.30 am

to 1.30 pm. But the students will be given their
answer books at 10 am, so they can fill in the
necessary details. The question papers will be
given at 10.15 am.
 We know that all competitive and entrance exams
have exactly opposite assessment process that of
adopted by CBSE in schools. CBSE assess the
students on subjective questions whereas, after
school, students face objective questions in
exams. The gap between two different
assessment processes is filled by private
coaching institutes. Students have no option.
They have to join these so-called gateways to
success along with their schools as the school
syllabus do not teach them how to tackle
objective questions in entrance exams.
