The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced a change in the pattern of the accountancy answer booklet for its board exams from the next academic year. The new pattern will be introduced for the Class 12 Accountancy exam in 2024.
Under the new pattern, students will be provided with a regular answer booklet instead of a booklet with printed tables. This change is being made to make the exam easier for students and to help teachers evaluate answer booklets more accurately.
The CBSE has stated that this change is part of its broader effort to enhance student success and align with the evolving needs of the education system and the accounting profession.
Benefits of the New Accountancy Answer Booklet Pattern:
Easier for Students: Students will no longer need to waste time drawing tables in the answer booklet. This will give them more time to focus on writing their answers.
Easier for Teachers to Evaluate: Teachers will find it easier to evaluate answer booklets with accuracy when all students are using the same format.
More Aligned With the Accounting Profession: The new pattern is more aligned with the way that accounting professionals work in the real world.
The CBSE's decision to revise the accountancy answer booklet pattern is a welcome move. It is a step in the right direction towards making the exam easier for students and more aligned with the needs of the accounting profession.
