Chief Minister Shri Bhupendra Patel has taken several significant decisions in the best interest of the students of Gujarat.

The higher of the two exam results (Best of Two) will be considered.

– For the Class 10 and Class 12 general stream board exams, the proportion of objective questions increased from 20% to 30% and the proportion of descriptive questions decreased from 80% to 70%. Additionally, general options will be given for all descriptive questions instead of internal options.

– In the board exams of Class 12-Science Stream, instead of retaining 50% MCQs (0MR) and 50% descriptive questions, all questions will now have general options, as decided in this meeting.

These decisions will be implemented from the academic year 2023-24. The Education Department has already issued the necessary directives in this regard.
