Board exam to have 6 papers from current session
BSEB will conduct only six-paper class X exam from the current session and to pass in English is no longer compulsory.
The six papers the Board examinees will have to compulsorily appear for are Mother Tongue, Second Indian Language, maths, science, social science and English.
However, marks of only the first five papers will be calculated for the aggregate which will decide the examinee's division. Securing at least pass marks in the first five papers will be a must for passing the examination.
Board secretary Vinodanand Jha said eleven papers meant a lot of pressure on students. "So we decided to reduce the number," he said, adding the new system will be adopted from examinations of the current session that'll be held next year.
It will also be no longer compulsory to choose a subject from home science, music, dance and others. "Students may or may not opt for one of these subjects," Jha said.
Apart from fewer papers, changes in examination pattern are also to be implemented from the current session. The examinee's levels of information, understanding, skills and application of knowledge will be tested. Questions will now be set from all chapters, leaving no scope for guesswork.
More of objective-type questions and less of long-answer questions will require the students to have an in-depth knowledge of subjects. The nature of questions will also change.
"Even in the last examination, we introduced the system of having around 40 per cent such questions which had general knowledge answers," Jha said.
Thirty per cent of the questions will be "difficult" and the rest thirty will be "very difficult". That is, students cannot afford to take the exams lightly and will have to study for the exam.
Starting from the 2007-2008 session, the Board plans to even change the class X syllabus provided the new books are available in the market in sufficient numbers by then.
"These changes are aimed at making Bihar Board students competent enough to compete with students from any part of the country," Jha said.
