The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is all set to conduct the 2024 board exams for both Class 10 and Class 12 starting from February 15. As the exams approach, CBSE has made the sample papers available for students, which can be easily accessed on the official website, cbseacademic.nic.in.
For students in the science stream, these exams bring an added level of challenge. They are required to appear for exams in chemistry, biology, and physics. To pass, they need to achieve a minimum score of 33% in each of these subjects.
In the case of CBSE Class 12 science stream students, each theoretical examination paper will carry a total of 70 marks. Additionally, students will have three hours to complete the questions in the exam.
Now, let’s delve into the specifics of the CBSE Class 12 Science question paper pattern:
