NEW DELHI: As part of the Central Board of Secondary Examination’s (CBSE) social science syllabus for term 2 exams 2021-22, students will study four major units, India and the Contemporary World – II, Contemporary India – II, Democratic Politics – II and Economics.

The CBSE had revised the syllabus and the exam pattern of Class 10 for the academic year 2021-22. The Class 10 CBSE Board exam syllabus has been divided into two sections for the two terms with the syllabus divided almost equally for both.

The CBSE Term 2 examination will be held around March-April 2022. While the CBSE term 1 question paper had multiple-choice questions (MCQ), the CBSE term 2 question paper will be more subjective. “The paper will have questions of different formats with case-based and situation-based, open-ended, short answer and long-answer type question paper”, says the official curriculum document on the board's website. The Term 2 exam duration will be 2 hours and will be conducted at the examination centres fixed by the board.
