Haryana Board Exams 2024:Twice a Year, Revised Syllabus, New Exam Pattern

The Haryana Board of School Education has announced a significant change in its examination schedule for the upcoming year, 2024. In a move to reduce the pressure on students and provide more opportunities for those who may not perform well in their initial attempts, the board has decided to conduct Class 10th and 12th exams twice a year. In this blog post, we will explore the details of this change and its implications for students.

1. Yearly Exams to be Conducted Twice: Starting from 2024, the Haryana Board of School Education will follow a schedule similar to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). This means that both Class 10th and Class 12th exams will be held twice a year. Students who pass in their first attempt need not appear for the exams again. However, for those looking to improve their performance, they will have the opportunity to retake the exam.

2. Student's Choice: It's important to note that the decision to appear for the exam once or twice lies with the students. This flexibility empowers them to make the choice that best suits their needs. The scores obtained in the exam with higher marks will be considered for the final result.

3. No Changes in Syllabus: The Haryana Board has not made any changes to the syllabus for Class 10th and 12th exams. Students can expect the same syllabus, and questions will be based on the entire curriculum. There are no alterations in the question paper pattern or syllabus.

4. Multiple Chances to Pass: With this new system, students will have three opportunities to pass their exams - in July, September, and March. This increased frequency of exams provides more chances for students to clear their exams. Additionally, if a student fails in the compartmental exam, they will have the option to take the exam from the Open School system.

5. Introduction of Digital Marking: One groundbreaking change introduced by the Haryana Board is the use of digital marketing for evaluating answer sheets. This marks the board as one of the first to implement digital marking. This will enhance the efficiency and accuracy of the evaluation process.

The Haryana Board's decision to conduct Class 10th and 12th exams twice a year brings a refreshing change for students, reducing pressure and offering more opportunities for success. Students now have the flexibility to choose the number of times they wish to appear for the exams, with their higher scores being considered. This change aims to improve the overall academic experience for students, without altering the syllabus or question paper pattern. It's a step forward in modernizing the evaluation process with the introduction of digital marking. With these positive changes, students in Haryana can look forward to a brighter academic future.
