KOLKATA, 3 JUNE: Higher Secondary results of the state will see some
positive changes in 2015 as a new system of question and evaluation
pattern at par with the national boards is set to be introduced from the
coming academic session.
“But there will be no magic in the
very first year. We have to wait at least for 10 years to experience
some real change in results. At least the students will be confident
that they have some knowledge of the subjects that they have studied,”
said Professor Muktinath Chatterjee, president of West Bengal Council of
Higher Secondary Education (WBCHSE).
From this year onwards,
scoring will become easier as all subjects will involve project work.
While the Science subjects will accommodate 30 marks for practical,
students studying other subjects will also get 20-mark project work.
This apart, 50 per cent of the theory question will be based on multiple
choice. In line with the change in the evaluation pattern, curriculum
of most of the subjects have been changed.
“Initially the
students might find it difficult to cope up with the new syllabus. It
will definitely take time for them to acclimatise as they did not have
any new syllabus in Madhyamik. The effect can be found in HS, 2017 as
those candidates will have new syllabus in Madhyamik too,” added the
president.
the possibility of high score at par with ISC and
CBSE (XII) will be doubled with the new pattern, a fall in the depth of
knowledge is also apprehended.
“The state boards might not have a
good record in scores. But it is still believed that subjects of
Humanities group are best taught in state boards. With the introduction
of multiple choice questions (MCQs), we are not sure what will happen in
future,” said a History teacher of a government school.
Dismissing
the possibility of any degradation, HS council authorities said that
there will be multiple sets of MCQs to ensure that candidates would not
be able to score unless they study in depth.
“We will publish models of questions answers and marking patterns,” said an official of HS council.
