New Delhi:
The candidates who are preparing for Tamil Nadu class 12 board examination 2019, we have some important news for you. The Tamil Nadu government has announced changes in the examination pattern for the upcoming class XII state board exam. According to the new question paper pattern, all the Multiple-choice questions (MCQs) this year in Part -A (one-mark questions) will be replaced by fill in the blanks, assertion-reason, match the following and similar questions.
Earlier this month, when the State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) released the model question paper there was no mention of such changes.
Students are apprehensive that the new question pattern may have adverse effect on the results. Marks per subject from 200 to 100 and the exam duration by 30 minutes have already been reduced by the government.
This year, the Tamil Nadu class 12 board examination will be held from March 1, 2019, and the students will follow the new pattern.
