Only six papers for Class X exams

Government orders questions be set only from 70% of syllabus
The State government on Monday issued orders restricting Class X board exams this year to six papers representing as many subjects against 11 papers in the past.
The students will be required to appear for only one paper per subject. However, they will have to answer in separate sheets for physics and biology in the science paper. Earlier, they used to appear for two papers each for five subjects and one paper for second language. The number of papers were brought down as the academic schedule at schools was way behind due to COVID-19 pandemic.
In fact, the six paper norm for Class X exams was nothing new as the government had proposed it for the last academic year itself but could not implement the same because the exams were called off and students promoted straight away due to the pandemic. The same was being followed now.
