CBSE To Focus On Competency Based Questions For Classes 11 & 12 From 2024 Onwards

CBSE Board 2024 Latest Updates: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has recently announced a new framework for classes 11 and 12 from the commencement of academic session 2024-25.

In this academic session i.e. 2024-25, the board is going to focus more on the competency-based questions in theoretical examinations for classes 11 and 12 so that the students can prepare for the real-world applications of their knowledge.

As per the NEP 2021, these competency-based questions include MCQs, case-based questions, and source-based integrated questions, and cover about 40% to 50% of questions in the theory examination of classes 11 and 12 from 2024 onwards.

However, the weightage of constructed response questions, including short and long-answer questions, will be reduced from 40% to 30%. This adjustment reflects a concerted attempt to balance the assessment framework by prioritizing the critical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills of the students.

Whereas, the weightage of the selective type questions (MCQs) will remain the same as per the NEP 2021 i.e. 20%. This shift towards the competency-based questions for classes 11 and 12 from 2024 will help the students to learn more about the real-time circumstances said Joseph Emanuel, director of CBSE.
