CBSE 2021 exam paper pattern changes: There is a big change noticed in the sample question papers of Class 12. In order to give more weightage to reasoning and aptitude, it is learnt that the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reportedly tweaked the question paper pattern for Class 12 board examinations. Apparently, the CBSE is focusing more on multiple-choice questions and those based on case studies. If reports are to be believed the new pattern aims to test students' ability to understand.

The change in question pattern for Class 12 CBSE exam came to the fore after several schools noticed that weightage for MCQs has been increased by 10 per cent in the sample question papers released by the board for Class 12 exam.

Earlier, the board had reduced the syllabus for Class 10 and Class 12 by 30 per cent, cutting down at least 4-5 chapters in every subject. The idea was to put less pressure on students and teachers to complete the syllabus in these troubled times of coronavirus pandemic. The change is going to be implemented from this session.
