UPMSP Updates Pattern for Class 12 Board Exams 2022

UPMSP authorities have announced several updates in regards to the UP class 12 board examinations. Henceforth, Uttar Pradesh 12th class assessments will feature a new examination pattern. Assessments will feature two sections separated by question formatting from the 2021-2022 academic year. Firstly, section A will have 20 objective and multiple-choice questions worth one point each. Meanwhile, section B will feature both short-answer and long-answer descriptive questions worth fifty marks in total. Thus, the board exam will have a total score of 70 points, with a duration of three hours and 15 minutes.

In addition, the board has stated that the 30 per cent syllabus cut which took place in 2020 will continue for this academic session. The state had reduced the number of assessment topics due to COVID-19 constraints. Notably, this announcement also contains the first publication of class 9 and 11 examination patterns. Generally, boards do not publish official exam patterns for classes 9 and 11 due to the major board exams occurring in 10th and 12th standards.
