The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 exam in 2024 will be a major milestone for students of this age group. The exam will be the culmination of all the hard work and preparation that the students have put in over the years. It will consist of the knowledge, skills, and abilities of students in different subject areas.
The CBSE Class 10 exam will be conducted in two parts: the written exam and the practical exam. The written exam will consist of multiple-choice questions, short answer questions, and essay questions. The practical exam will involve the students performing practical tasks related to the syllabus. The marks obtained in the written and practical exams will be combined to determine the student’s final grade. To ensure that the students are well-prepared for the exam, the CBSE will provide them with study material and sample question papers. These will help the students to assess their level of understanding of the syllabus and identify areas that require further study. In addition, the CBSE will also provide guidance and support to the students. This will include counselling sessions, mentoring, and guidance from experienced teachers.
