Navigating the New Landscape: Essential CBSE Guidelines for 2025 Board Exams

The CBSE board exams are a significant milestone in every student's academic journey. With the introduction of several key changes for the 2025 exams, it's crucial for students to be well-versed in these guidelines to navigate the new landscape successfully.

Shifting Gears: A Focus on Understanding

Gone are the days of cramming and rote learning. The 2025 exams emphasize a deeper understanding of concepts and the ability to apply knowledge.  

  • Competency-Based Questions: Expect to encounter questions that assess your ability to analyze, evaluate, and solve problems. These questions will require you to think critically and apply your knowledge to real-world scenarios.  
  • Reduced Emphasis on Rote Learning: Short and long-answer questions have been reduced, minimizing the need for rote memorization.  

Internal Assessments: A Significant Weightage

Internal assessments now play a more crucial role, contributing 40% to your overall score.  

  • Active Participation is Key: Consistent participation in classroom activities, projects, and assignments is essential.
  • Focus on Quality over Quantity: Strive for quality in your work rather than just completing assignments for the sake of it.

Examination Ethics: A Stricter Approach

CBSE has taken a stricter stance on examination ethics:

  • Zero Tolerance for Unfair Means: Cheating and other forms of misconduct will be dealt with severely, with penalties including the cancellation of exams.  
  • Adhere to Guidelines: Familiarize yourself with the list of permitted and prohibited items in examination centers to avoid any unintentional violations.  

Tips for Success:

  • Understand the New Pattern: Thoroughly familiarize yourself with the revised exam structure and weightage of different sections. Practice sample papers based on the updated pattern to get a feel for the exam.
  • Conceptual Clarity is Paramount: Focus on understanding core concepts rather than just memorizing facts. This will be invaluable for tackling competency-based questions.
  • Utilize NCERT Resources: NCERT textbooks remain the foundation for CBSE exams. Pay close attention to the exercises and examples provided in these books.  
  • Time Management is Crucial: Divide your study time effectively among different subjects. Allocate extra time for subjects that require more in-depth understanding and application.
  • Mock Tests are Invaluable: Regularly attempt mock tests and practice papers to identify your weak areas and improve time management.  

The 2025 CBSE board exams present new challenges and opportunities. By embracing these changes, focusing on understanding, and adhering to the guidelines, you can confidently navigate this important milestone and achieve your academic goals.

Question 21

Answer

A is true but R is false.

Section B (2 Marks Each)

Question 22

Answer

In Python, a mutable object can be changed after it is created (e.g., lists, dictionaries), while an immutable object cannot be modified after its creation (e.g., tuples, strings).

An example of a mutable object from the given options is [1, 2] (list) and {1:1, 2:2} (dictionary).

An example of an immutable object from the options is '123' (string) and (1, 2) (tuple).

Question 23

Answer

  1. Arithmetic Operators — +, -
  2. Relational Operators — >, ==

Question 24

Answer

  1. (a) L1.count(4)
    OR
    (b) 
    L1.sort()
  2. L1.extend(L2)
    OR
    (b) 
    L2.reverse()

Question 25

Answer

W#, W#s#

Minimum and maximum possible values of the variable b is 1, 6.

Question 26

Answer

def swap_first_last(tup) # Error 1

    if len(tup) < 2:

    return tup  # Error 2

    new_tup = (tup[-1],) + tup[1:-1] + (tup[0])  # Error 3

    return new_tup

 

result = swap_first_last((1, 2, 3, 4))

print("Swapped tuple: " result) # Error 4

Error 1 — The function header is missing a colon (:) at the end, which is required to define a function in Python.

Error 2 — The return statement needs to be indented because it is the part of the if block.

Error 3 — Comma should be added after tup[0] to ensure it is treated as a tuple. Without the comma, (tup[0]) is treated as an integer.

Error 4 — Comma should be added in the print statement to properly separate the string from the variable.

The corrected code is:

def swap_first_last(tup): 

    if len(tup) < 2:       

        return tup

    new_tup = (tup[-1],) + tup[1:-1] + (tup[0],)

    return new_tup

 

result = swap_first_last((1, 2, 3, 4))

print("Swapped tuple: ", result)

Question 27-I(a)

Answer

To prevent duplicate values in a table column while allowing NULL values, we should use the UNIQUE constraint. The UNIQUE constraint ensures that all values in the specified column are different, but it permits multiple NULLs since NULL is considered distinct from any other value.

Question 27-I(b)

Answer

To ensure that NULL values are not allowed in a table column while allowing duplicate values, we should use the NOT NULL constraint. The NOT NULL constraint ensures that every entry in the specified column must have a value (i.e., it cannot be NULL), but it allows duplicate values.

Question 27-II(a)

Answer

ALTER TABLE MOBILE

DROP PRIMARY KEY;

Question 27-II(b)

Answer

ALTER TABLE MOBILE

ADD PRIMARY KEY (M_ID);

Question 28(a)

Answer

Advantage

Ease of service — Network extension is easy.

Disadvantage

Central node dependency — Failure of switch/hub results in failure of the network.

Question 28(b)

Answer

SMTP stands for Simple Mail Transfer Protocol.

It is the standard protocol for sending emails across the Internet.
