New Exam Pattern Highlights
The 2026 exams follow the rationalized syllabus. Key focus areas include:
- Increased MCQ Integration: Expect more competency-based multiple-choice questions in core subjects.
- Descriptive Depth: 5-mark and 10-mark questions will require precise diagrams and point-wise explanations.
Quick Preparation Tips
