The Minister of State for Education, Annapurna Devi, has stated in the Lok Sabha that at least 40 per cent questions in the CBSE class 10 exam and 30 per cent in class 12 for the year 2023 will be competency based. These questions will comprise multiple formats such as objective type, constructing response type, assertion and reasoning and case-based.
“In pursuance of National Education Policy 2020, CBSE has been introducing
competency-based questions in the classes 10 and 12 board examinations to reform the pattern of examinations,” she emphasised.
Theory examinations for the academic year will begin from February 15, 2023. However, CBSE has yet to announce the exam schedule.
