“The Board issues Sample Question Papers (SQPs) and Marking Schemes for classes X and XII to provide a broad template to serve as a guide for ensuring uniformity and proper coverage of the curricula. Further, SQPs give a broad understanding about the Question Paper Design and need to be used for classroom teaching and learning activities with an overall focus on promoting the application of concepts in real-life and holistic learning,” reads the official notice.

For next year, CBSE is returning to the annual board exams. To bring the academic cycle back on track, the board will conduct its annual exams in February. CBSE had earlier announced it will revise its syllabus. This means, the 30 per cent syllabus cut offered for the last two years could be rolled back. This has raised concerns among schools that whether or not the given time is sufficient to prepare students for boards.
“Schools will have to plan syllabus completion by December 2022. In case Boards are conducted in Feb/ March, then class 12 practicals would be completed in December – January so that students can focus on theory thereafter,” says Dr Anshu Arora, Principal of Amity International School at Sector 43, Gurugram adding that, “CBSE has to pitch in for supporting the schools by giving clear guidelines on exam dates…The earlier we get directions, the better it would be.”
