Cuttack: The Board of Secondary Education (BSE) is to effect major changes in the question pattern of the annual matriculation examination from the academic session 2020-21.
The board is to abolish OMR sheet and multiple choice questions, and introduce objective and subjective questions for 50 marks in the respective sections, BSE president Jahanara Begum said Thursday.
A student will have to secure 15 marks each in each of the two new categories to pass in a subject. The board also plans to prepare four sets of question papers from the next year instead of the existing three sets.
Class-IX students, too, will follow the revised question paper pattern, Jahanara added.
