Board exam begins with new light
March 1, 2008
Students across the country are having a big day today as they sit in the Board exam on Saturday. Students have been preparing for most of the year for the board exams. Students of class 10 and 12 are taking the CBSE exams on Saturday.
Class 10 starts with Computer Science while for Class 12, it is Chemistry. On Friday evening, the city's nerves are a little shaky.
''They should have been informed us about it little earlier,'' said Rahul Agarwal, a class XII student.
That complaint is about the new design of this year's Class XII exams. 20 per cent of each exam will test a student's understanding of the subject. Students have to be able to apply concepts as opposed to just putting them down on paper. This was announced just a fortnight ago and students are frightened about this.
A new feature has also been introduced this year – no multiple-choice question. Instead, up to 10 marks are allocated to very short answers, students have one sentence or less to make their point.
