As per the revised 2021-22 bifurcated syllabus, today’s Commerce paper covered the following chapters as a part of the 50% syllabus scheduled for the Semester 1 exam: Business Environment, Financing, and Management. Students interested in solving the question paper on their own can do so by referring to the above-mentioned chapters from their class 12 commerce textbooks. The questions asked in today’s examination were mostly theory-based questions with a few logical ones. The last 4 questions were case study-based questions, where each question was further subdivided into 5 sub-questions.
The unofficial answer keys are not verified by the CISCE hence, students are advised to refer to multiple answer keys simultaneously. This will help them conclude a rough score that may or may not differ from the actual score. Calculation of scores can be done with the help of the CISCE marking scheme. According to CISCE: all questions carry equal marks and there is no negative marking.
