Central Board of Secondary Education is planning to release the Sample Papers for Term 2 Board Exams of Classes 10 and 12 soon. As per gathered info from news sources, CBSE will upload the Term 2 Sample Papers in January 2022 with a big twist.
Director of Academics, Dr. Joseph Emmanuel has instructed the CBSE committee to focus on two types of paper patterns due to Omicron-related new cases and a new style of questions assessment is also introduced for Term 2, reported ANI.

* CBSE committee may release both Objective and Subjective Sample papers for Term 2 soon on the CBSE Academic website.
