The first exam for Class X students will be languages – Kannada, Odia and Lepcha. Class XII exams will begin with English (both Elective and Core) at 10.30 am.
A third of each paper (33 per cent) will contain internal choice questions, and the syllabus of each subject has been reduced by 30 per cent to ease the burden on lakhs of students across the country who have seen classroom time cut drastically due to the coronavirus lockdown.
