Commonly asked questions
Q:   What role do multiple-choice questions (MCQs) play in the board exams?
A: 

Multiple Choice Questions (MSQs) always play a cruicial role in any board exams. Inclass 10, 12 board exams, MCQs are asked in each paper that contain 30% to 40% marks. Through, MCQs, the students are tested for their knoledge and understanding of concepts. Each MCQ usually has one mark, hence, answering them correctly can award boost to your score. These MCQs also take less time to answer if the studtnts are well-prepared.

Q:   Are class 12 sample papers useful for last-minute preparation?
A: 

Yes. The sample papers are very useful for last minute preparation. The students can quickly go through important questions and topics. Solving 1 or 2 papers every day before the final examination can help the candidates improve their speed. It also helps refresh memory.

Q:   Will questions be asked from the Class 12 Board’s sample paper?
A: 

Sample question papers help you know the difficulty level and type of questions asked for the Class 12 board exam. We cannot predict that questions will not be repeated from the sample paper. Students can expect a few questions or similar questions from the sample paper. Questions in the Class 12 board examination may be from any part of the syllabus. So, prepare thoroughly from the entire syllabus.

The secretary informed that an investigation has been initiated based on the complaints and legal action will be taken against the erring channels. He clarified that these fake papers do not only affect the credibility of the examination process, but also cause stress and inadequate preparation among students. He further requested all social media platforms to remove such misleading content within 24 hours, failing which, under sections of the Indian Penal Code, cases will be filed.
