The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially released the Sample Question Papers (SQPs) and Marking Scheme (MS) for Classes 10 and 12 ahead of the 2024-25 board exams. Students gearing up for the exams can now access these resources on CBSE’s official website.
The marking scheme is available for a wide range of subjects, including core areas like English, Mathematics, Hindi, Science, Social Science, Accountancy, and Business Studies. In addition, students can check marking schemes for regional languages and niche subjects such as Bharatanatyam, Carnatic Music, Painting, Arabic, and more.
According to an official CBSE notification, “The Sample Question Papers (SQPs) and Marking Schemes (MS) for Classes 10 and 12 provide a framework to guide teachers and students. These serve as a broad template for uniformity and help students understand the question paper design while focusing on real-life application of concepts.”
Earlier this year, in June, CBSE also revised the curriculum for various skill-based subjects, effective from the 2024-25 academic year. These revisions include updates for courses like Web Application (Class 11), Information Technology (Class 10), and Artificial Intelligence (Classes 9 and 11). The board encourages all stakeholders to review these changes and stay informed via the official CBSE website.
These efforts by CBSE aim to equip students with the skills and knowledge essential for navigating the rapidly evolving technological landscape.
