CBSE to prepare easier question paper for the class 10th students for 2020 exams

Students appearing for class 10th board exams in 2020 will have an easier question set by the CBSE board. Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), in a tweet yesterday, said “the number of descriptive questions in class 10th question papers in many subjects have been reduced. Lesser number of descriptive questions imply that the paper will less lengthy and time-taking than it used to be”. For subjects like Hindi, English, Science, Mathematics, Social Science, Home Science, and Sanskrit CBSE has decided to reduce the number of descriptive questions in the paper. In another tweet CBSE said “2020 exam pattern change brings cheers to students: Number of descriptive questions reduced for class X including Hindi, Eng. Sc. Maths,https://t.co/phbRmjWHfY.Home Sc. Skt. This means students will get time to think write more creative answers, of course, without any stress”. At the beginning of this year, CBSE had announced some major changes in its assessment methods which help the board to reduce the gap between  learning outcomes and assessment methods. "It is a necessity now that 'assessment of learning' must be augmented with 'assessment as learning' and 'assessment for learning'", said CBSE. Under the proposed changes, CBSE question papers for class 10th will have at least 25% objective questions. Subjective questions will comprise 75% of the paper but their number will be reduced so that students will get more time to think and write answers creatively.
