CBSE Class 10 Exam Pattern-
Students will be exempt from the separate pass criteria for the academic year 2017-18. It has been confirmed that for the academic session 2017-18 there will be no CCE scheme. In other words, the Class 10 All India Secondary School Examination 2018 will be conducted in the “old fashion” of exams, which is, at the end of the year. The good news here is that students of class ten will be exempt from the criteria of passing separately in internal assessments and Board exams. CBSE has confirmed that students need to secure overall 33% marks (both internal assessment & Board exam combined) in a particular subject to pass.
With the reintroduction of mandatory board exams in CBSE Class 10, a major change brought to the assessment scheme is that the CBSE board will conduct the class 10 exams of 80 marks for each subject. This board exam will cover the100% syllabus. Other 20 marks are kept with schools for internal assessment (IA).
IA comprises:
Periodic Tests (PT) with weightage of 10 marks each
Notebook Submission of 5 marks
Subject Enrichment Activities of 5 marks.
