CBSE 2022 Board Exams are divided into two terms for the students of the current academic year 2021-2022 due to the school closures and examination disruptions in this covid-19 pandemic situation. The central board of secondary education (CBSE) now decided some amends for the student’s future.
For the academic batch 2021-2022, CBSE will be conducting two board exams ie., Term-I and Term-II exams. Each term exam will be held with a 50 percent syllabus. Now, CBSE class 10 and class 12 board exams hold two terms from the current session where the first term questions will be objective at the same time the second term questions will be subjective. Moreover, the final marks gonna be provided based on the performance in both these exams, which will carry equal weightage.
