CBSE Introduces New Exam Pattern for Class 10 Students: 8 Points to Know

From 2020, two-level exams will be held for Class 10 Mathematics and English exams. Students will also be able to choose the difficulty level of the maths exam. Get more details here!

This year, over 18 lakh students including 10,70,579 boys, 7,56,893 girls and 22 transgender candidates appeared for the CBSE exams.
From 2020 onwards, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) plans to introduce certain changes in its Class 10 examination pattern, with an aim to ease the burden of Class 10 students.
The notice which was circulated among the affiliated schools is presumed to be available for the common public soon.

Here are eight facts you should know about the new exam pattern:

1. The new exam pattern will be two-levelled instead of a single 100-mark paper that was the norm for Class 10 students up until now.
2. An internal examination will be held in schools to determine whether a student can appear for the written exam.
3. This internal exam will carry 20 marks, and subsequently, the common CBSE written exam will be of 80 marks instead of the usual 100 marks.
4. The new pattern will apply only to Mathematics and English papers.
5. Only those students who pass the school-conducted internal exams will be qualified for the final written exams.

As per a report in the Indian Express, the CBSE says that this development is ‘learner-centric’ and that the need for school-based internal assessment is increasing.“Students are [habituated to] writing answers as written in the textbooks. It is important that they develop their own style of writing and not mere reproduce what the books say. Thus, we have issued instructions to give consideration to students who adopt their own writing style,” said a CBSE spokesperson.

6. Additionally, there will be a considerable change in the exam pattern specific to the Mathematics exam as well. This pattern is yet to be introduced, and each student will be able to choose the level of difficulty of the paper they answer.7. The current math syllabus will be called mathematics-standard while the easier version will be called mathematics-basic.
8. One added condition for this pattern is that those students who opt for mathematics-basic will not be able to choose the subject for higher studies.
Although the exact date hasn’t been confirmed yet, the CBSE has declared that the Class 10 and 12 results will be announced in the third week of May. Once declared, students can check their marks on cbse.nic.in and cbseresults.nic.in.

Compound Interest Definition Compound interest is the interest calculated on the principal and the interest accumulated over the previous period. It is different from the simple interest where interest is not added to the principal while calculating the interest during the next period. Compound interest finds its usage in most of the transactions in the banking and finance sectors and also in other areas as well. Some of its applications are: Increase or decrease in population. The growth of bacteria. Rise or depreciation in the value of an item. Compound Interest Formula The compound interest formula is given below: Compound Interest = Amount – Principal Where the  amount  is given by: Where, A= amount P= principal R= rate of interest n= number of times interest is compounded per year It is to be noted that the above formula is the general formula for the number of times the principal is compounded in an year. If the amount is compounded annually, the amount is given as- ...

Revision Notes on Circle The equation of a   circle   with its center at C(x 0 , y 0 ) and radius r is: (x – x 0 ) 2  + (y – y 0 ) 2  = r 2     If x 0  = y 0  = 0 (i.e. the centre of the circle is at origin) then  equation of the circle   reduce to x 2  + y 2  = r 2 . If r = 0 then the circle represents a point or a point circle. The equation x 2  + y 2  + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 is the general equation of a circle with centre (–g, –f) and radius √(g 2 +f 2 -c). Equation of the circle with points P(x 1 , y 1 ) and Q(x 2 , y 2 ) as extremities of a diameter is (x – x 1 ) (x – x 2 ) + (y – y 1 )(y – y 2 ) = 0.  For general circle, the equation of the chord is x 1 x + y 1 y + g(x 1  + x) + f(y 1  +y) + c = 0 For circle x 2  + y 2  = a 2 , the equation of the chord is x 1 x + y 1 y = a 2   The equation of the  chord  AB (A ≡ (R cos α, R sin α);...

Important Formulas - Probability or Chance Probability or Chance Probability or chance is a common term used in day-to-day life. For example, we generally say, 'it may rain today'. This statement has a certain uncertainty. Probability is quantitative measure of the chance of occurrence of a particular event. Experiment An experiment is an operation which can produce well-defined outcomes. Random Experiment If all the possible outcomes of an experiment are known but the exact output cannot be predicted in advance, that experiment is called a random experiment. Examples Tossing of a fair coin When we toss a coin, the outcome will be either Head (H) or Tail (T) Throwing an unbiased die Die is a small cube used in games. It has six faces and each of the six faces shows a different number of dots from 1 to 6. Plural of die is dice. When a die is thrown or rolled, the outcome is the number that appears on its upper face and it is a random in...
