What's New in CBSE Class 12?

CBSE has released the CBSE Class 12 Syllabus for the session 2022–23.  There won't be any term-based exams from the upcoming session as the material has only been issued for one common exam. Students can visit the CBSE official website to download the syllabus.

CBSE Class 12 Exam Pattern 2021-2022

CBSE Class 12 Board Exams were conducted between 26th April to 15th June 2022. The CBSE board proposed a different Exam Pattern due to the COVID-19 impact. As per the new exam pattern, the syllabus is bifurcated into two parts that are 50% of Term 1 and 50% of Term 2. The duration of the CBSE 12th Board Exam was 3 hours. The percentage of MCQs was around 30% and the number of application-based questions was even less.
