Change in exam pattern
This year, the board had gone in for a change in exam pattern and had conducted Term 1 and Term 2 exams.
The Term 1 exam, held from November 16, 2021 to December 30, 2021, was a 90 minute objective type paper. Students took up the two and a half hour long paper at the end of Term 2, from April 26, 2022 to June 15, 2022, for the rest of the syllabus. The board had also rationalised the syllabus by 30%, owing to the pandemic and the delay in the start of in-person classes in many states.
Along with the declaration of the results, the board announced on Friday that 30% weightage had been given for the Term 1 paper and 70% weightage for the Term 2 paper. Practicals, however, have been given equal weightage in both terms.
