Exam Analysis
The questions were asked from five complete units, starting from Unit 6 to Unit 10. These units are Biodiversity, Energy, Waste, Environment and Development and Towards a Sustainable Future. The maximum marks on the question paper were 40. However, the paper was divided into two sections namely Section A and section B. Students were required to attempt all questions from Section A while any three questions were required to be solved from Section B.
In the first section, the questions followed an objective-type pattern. Out of the four given options, students had to select the correct one and write the same. On the other hand, the questions in the second section followed a subjective-type pattern. These questions were for 02 and 03 marks. Every student got a reading time of 10 minutes to go through the question paper. During this time, no student is allowed to write but only read the question paper.
Students were required to be seated in the examination halls well before time since the question papers were distributed at 10:50 AM. Keeping in mind the COVID-19 pandemic, students have been instructed to reach the examination centres in advance just to avoid any overcrowding. Moreover, face masks and hand sanitizers have been made mandatory.
