Apply NowNEW DELHI : There will be more competency-based questions in CBSE Class 12 board exams 2025 while the number of constructed response questions will decrease by 10 per cent as compared to last year. The Central Board of Secondary Education notified the changes in composition of question papers in the year-end board exams for Classes 9 to 12 for the academic session 2024-25.
The board made these changes to align the assessment process in CBSE board exams with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020.
