CBSE: No more sample papers for Class 10, 12

CBSE will no longer issue sample papers for Class 10 and 12 board exams. The board made the decision after it realized that students were identifying particular areas of the syllabus from past year papers and limited their studies to those sections. CBSE has introduced a range of methods that include open book learning and application based questions to discourage rote learning. The number of students scoring wel lhas increased over the years. The CBSE is reported to believe that this has more to do with students identifying sections to study rather than students becoming smarter. The number of students scoring above90 percent has doubled from 2008 to 2013. The news may come as a surprise to students as sample papers have been available from 1993. Studying from past year papers was acommon revision technique for students across boards. Students from next year may have to study the entire syllabus. One positive aspect that may come out of CBSE’s decision is that colleges may have to lower cut-offs. Top colleges have extremely high cut-offs owing to high scores in Class 12 exams.
