CBSE marking scheme for class 10th & 12th from 2019 onwards

0
 

CBSE has issues a notification regarding revamping of the previous pattern of board for both Classes 10th and 12th.This change was proposed by the feedback received from various members of Committee of Courses and subject experts, said the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) statement. CBSE initiated this on the purpose of improving the quality of education and so that the students are able to compete in various competitive exams. The new pattern would test students on their analytical skills and reasoning instead blindly copy the testbook test.

“To give relaxation to students, the board has decided to ease the passing criteria for Class 10 students from 2019,” explained CBSE chairman Anita Karwal.

 

Detailed analysis of 10th Class Exam pattern

So the pattern goes as below:

  • The internal assessment would sum up to 20 Marks and the annual board exam will be assessed among the rest 80 Marks.
  • Annual board examination: Maximum marks are 80 for each subject and individual student need to score 33% out of 80 in each subject.
  • Internal assessment comprises of 3 periodic tests(10 marks ) , marks on submission of notebooks (5 marks) and subject activities(5 marks).
  • Among the 3 periodic tests , the average of best 2 marks will be taken into consideration.
  • As per the latest news by CBSE Board, students may choose the difficulty level of Class 10th Maths question paper. There will be 2 levels of exam held for CBSE Class X Mathematics Board Exam. The changes will be made from academic year ending March 2020 onwards. First level would be the same as the existing one, and the other would be an easier level. As per reports, such a decision from CBSE is to make the students, who don’t want to pursue maths for higher studies, go for a simpler question paper.
  • Besides above , the paper will now have more short answer-type questions carrying marks between 1 and 5. The aim is to check a child’s problem-solving and analytical skills rather than his/her ability to memorize and write the answers.

Detailed analysis of 12th Class Exam pattern 

Sanyam Bhardwaj ,the CBSE examination controller has confirmed that the pattern of the question will be same as the competitive examinations.

Increase in objective type questions

There will be more objective type questions and no multiple choice questions. So, that it make the students to study each and every topic with thoroughly with proper understanding.

There is also an increase in the number of objective type question i.e. despite of 10 such questions, there will be 20 objective type questions. Along with objective type questions, there are 2 marks , 3 marks and 5 marks questions. There will be total of 14 questions of 2 to 3 marks and 3 questions of 5 marks.

Introduction of internal assessment in all subjects made mandatory

There were some subjects like English, Mathematics ,Political Science which didn’t include internal assessment. But with the new pattern all the subject include 20 marks for internal assessment. Thus, in board exam of 2020 , the paper would be assessed out of rest 80 marks. However , some science subject will continue to follow the 30 and 70 marks breakup.

More internal choices in the question

CBSE introduced internal choice in 33% questions in the year 2019 and same will be carried on to 2020 too. This has been implemented to all the subjects. Now students will find 33% internal choice in all the sections in the question paper in all subjects. Hence this will help students answer the questions better among the choice they know well. Means, it reduces the overall difficulty for the students appearing.

 

CBSE has put forward the proposal to ministry for approval. It is still on the discussion stage but they are working on implementing the changes by 2020.The renewal will be applicable from 2020 sections once approved.

 

Importance and method of revision

0
 

When exams are around , so comes the revision and exam preparations. Students often fail to get desired results because of lack of proper revision before exams. Students usually prepare for exams at the eleventh hour, hence, missing out revising and brushing the learnt concepts.

After attending so many classes, submitting the projects come very difficult time that’s exams ,which is difficult to conquer due to pressure surrounding. So with this section, we have come up with techniques to help you ace exam season.

The early you start, the better is your performance

Starting earlier helps you to know your chapter before hand so that you don’t mess up with the concept at the last moment. This leads to real learning of matter and understanding it. Reading through what you have done (at school) everyday updates you with what has been done in class and help to remember better. At the time of studying makes handy notes for your reference about what the chapter covers like which all derivations, formulae etc , highlight important lines on which questions can be asked and makes short questions like “Give 3 advantages of rain water harvesting” etc.

Try creating a learning environment

At times you may have heard people saying that it’s more productive to learn in library than in room lying on bed. While some find it comfortable learning in a closed room. So it depends on one’s preference and selection of the environment for him/her. Noise in the form of songs or the TV is found to be distracting by some while for others it could help them to boost up their concentration level. So one should judge which of the technique suit him/her to focus better.

Preparing Resources

There are various resources that one can use to memorize well and for a longer period of time. Some of them are as following

Timelines: These are great for the subjects that involve lot of memorizing like history, geography. Noting down various dates sequentially in form of flowcharts or in tabular formats help to fasten up learning.

Mind maps: Creating the summary of chapter in this format provides exposure to quicker revision at the time of exams.

Cue cards: These are useful and handy when you are out and around. You can write keywords leaving out spaces that you can fill later to tell the story.

Practice previous papers

One month before exams dig out the previous year question papers and make it a habit to do one on each day. After solving the paper at the stipulated time, evaluate your shortcomings. Mark those questions which are repeated and remember to prepare them well enough. In the case of essay, write one essay each day on recent topics or general topics and search out with the essay on the topic to know about the points you missed out/the points you could have added.

 

Other tips that might help

  1. Study with a friend and try to test each other’s hold on basics
  2. Stick the notes beside your bedside or on the loo wall
  3. Early morning revision helps a lot. It fastens the memorising power
  4. Use variety of sources- notebooks, books, various website
  5. Make mnemonics !! Mnemonics make use of elaborative encoding, retrieval cues as specific tools to encode any given information in a way that allows for efficient storage and retrieval like BODMAS which stands for bracket of division multiplication addition and subtraction to remember their priority while simplifying set of mathematical cues.
  6. If you don’t understand something that you don’t know then do ask for assistance from yours parents, teachers etc.
  7. Even if you have to revise do spend time having fun or take a short walk. Try to keep time for yourself.
  8. Be optimistic about what you have learnt
  9. Follow a healthy diet ever during your exams. Do not start to diet or follow new sleeping pattern before exams.
  10. Make sure that you have enough sleep before exams and get up early for a revision of weaker concepts.

Summing up Revision is as important part of examination. Last time revision can create wonders if done correctly. So make sure you have revised for 2-3 times before exams.

So, Scheduling is mandatory to manage any kind of task at any situation. Proper planning leads to better execution. At times, we all at the end of the day, do give it a thought that we wasted our ample of time which occurs to the lack of planning and executing. Stats show that “10-12 minutes invested in planning your day will save at least 2 hours of wasted time and effort throughout the day “.

“Time is precious “We all must have heard of this but how many of us realize this,maybe only a handful of people. So that’s true therefore you need to deal with the time and assure justice to the tasks to be performed.

This section provides you with the tricks to tackle time effectively and efficiently.

1. First, figure out the immovable stuff (classes, projects, assignments etc.), and schedule those in. Then schedule the rest of your time.
Try asking yourself these question and answer them according to your convenience What time will you allocate toward homework? Self study? Other necessity activities? What about a bit of downtime and sleep?

2. Once you get the idea of the things to done make the list of above, highlighting the timing for each of the task. While doing so, make sure the tasks to achieve in day are realistic. Don’t add many tasks that it become difficult for you to accomplish them.

3. Start to prioritize. Remember to do the task which is the need of the hour. Even if everything is absolutely critical, something must get done first. Once you’ve prioritized, forget the rest of the task until that first item in your to do list is completed.

4. So, if you find with all that that you still took on too much tasks, don’t be afraid to drop something. Otherwise, you’ll wind up dropping it all.

5. Always revise your school and coaching lessons after they end up so that you get what’s going on as in which chapter etc.

6. While preparing your schedule, allow some extra time for unforeseen circumstances. Your schedule might not always go as planned, so be prepared for it.  Don’t rush through the syllabus in order to complete it on time as half the concepts won’t register properly in your brain and will lead to wastage of time.

0
 

Pursuing a career in law can open up a range of avenues for students, whether it’s enrolling in a post graduate programme or joining a law firm or organisation. As a law graduate, you learn about and explore numerous fields and industries, which in turn opens up a variety of job opportunities once you graduate.

Amity University Dubai’s five-year integrated programme, is the only such programme outside India to be accredited by the Bar Council of India (BCI). The course syllabus covers BCI rules together with a specialisation of domain electives, so as to equip students to appear before courts and tribunals, and perform other essential roles of a law professional. Having an Amity University Dubai law degree means you can appear for clients at local UAE courts and in Indian courts.

Scope of the Degree

  • Stick to law: Law graduates typically start their careers in junior positions, some junior legal jobs include – court legal advisor, court messenger, document coder, file clerk, legal transcriptionist, legal drafting, legislative assistant, to name a few. Paralegal apprenticeships or trainee roles in large, medium and small sized law firms are a great way to kick-start your legal career. Although requiring immense dedication and hard work, this gives students a chance to develop their knowledge of law further through practice and study.
  • Be your own boss: An education in law is common amongst entrepreneurs. Critical thinking and creative problem solving skills are important for both business owners and lawyers. A lot of the course material covered in law is directly applicable for entrepreneurs and start-up owners.

In the era of specialisation, Amity University Dubai’s five year degree will give students ample time to build a sound background in the subject, equip students with the right professional skills required in the market, learn about the different subjects within law and finalise what career path they would like to take.

 

Advantages of taking GMAT for CAT Re-takers

0
 

Many a CAT-taker usually thinks that doing an MBA from overseas is prohibitively expensive. A few do think about a second MBA from Ivy League institutions after a few years of experience post MBA in India. Having observed the management education space since 1991, and having mentored MBA aspirants who aimed at B-Schools in India and also those who only wanted to study abroad, I thought I should write a brief note to help every aspirant of MBA.

In Indian context, any entrance exam is competition intensive. Of course, the one who is purposeful, determined and disciplined does manage to compel the IIMs to send across the call letter by virtue of his or her performance in CAT and Interview stage. Still there are many who are very good, but make do with an MBA from not so good an institution. From that perspective, every CAT taker should look at GMAT seriously.

Why study abroad? Does it make any sense? YES, IT DOES

  • Choice of Courses– The best of the universities abroad offer such a varied choice of flexible programmes wherein you can pick and choose courses / electives not limited to the courses that B-School offers. One can pick courses from varied departments of the university based on your interests.
  • Highly ranked Universities– Most of the universities that you hear about, or will aspire to be in and where many Indian students regularly get admitted to are definitely ranked far higher than any of the Indian Institutions in the global rankings.
  • Exposure to global business environment– Most of these universities is trend-setters in management education approach and pedagogy; many faculties are bolstered by the sharp intellect that has contributed immensely to paradigm shifts in doing business. The institution-industry engagement hence is of very high standard, there by offering exposure to world class business environment.
  • All round development– Most of the programmes attract students from various countries, cultures, and work experiences; the opportunity such an intense and engaging programme offered is beyond comparison from the perspective of personal development.
  • Home to the Best Companies– The best of the business schools are in the vicinity of largest business centers of the world that is home for the best of the Companies. Actually many of these universities have been the cradle for many of these world class companies when they were conceived and nurtured to the extent of the universities even having stakes in these companies.
  • Global Citizen– Most of the graduates, if keen, are gobbled by the corporates to be posted in countries across the world. A few years in any of these corporate makes you a global citizen, looking at every challenge in so many perspectives.
  • Higher Return on Investment– Though the fees that you pay for these programmes are multiple of what you invest for programmes in India, including IIMs, the kind of salaries that are offered to the graduates from these institutions are so huge that a graduate from an Indian institution will take a decade or so to match the salaries offered even at the campus placements of the overseas schools. Your returns are in the range of 3 to 4 multiples of your investment of the programme.

Here is a dekko of Global MBA, Fees Vs Avg Salary (2019)

B-School Intake Fees Avg Salary Duration (months)

Advantage GMAT – Why should you take GMAT anyways?

  • B-Schools across the globe look for GMAT (Graduate Management Admission Test) scores for admission for their programs.
  • When you are preparing for CAT, anyways you have more or less prepared for everything that GMAT tests you on.
  • As your GMAT score is valid for 5 years (the best of the colleges prefer score within last three years) it makes sense to prepare and take GMAT as you take CAT. You may use the scores now or in 3-4 years’ time if you look towards global career!
  • Also scoring 720+ in GMAT is easier for any hardworking CAT-Taker than scoring a 95%ile in CAT. This score is good enough to open the doors of the best of the world class business schools;

How to stay positive while job-hunting: Top 5 tips

0

Job hunting can be a drag. You’ve spent hour after hour searching through the plethora of different job sites, reading descriptions and writing cover letters. The process can seem to take an age and it’s enough to make anyone feel stressed. However, getting down about it isn’t going to help. There are ways in which you can stay positive while you’re waiting for the right opportunity to arrive.

 

Stay on Top

There are lots of different components to job searching. You’ll need to make sure that all of these are up to date and looking good. This means you need to go back and look through your CV and cover letters. Check them for spelling and grammar errors. See if there’s anything you can do to improve the format or make your CV more appealing to the types of jobs you are applying for. Your LinkedIn profile should be up to date and easily readable. It’s always worth dropping a message to any old colleagues, classmates or associates to receive endorsements on your list of skills. You should also check up on your references to make sure they’re still up to date. You should also make sure that your wardrobe is ready, you may get a last-minute interview so be sure that you have an interview-appropriate outfit.

“Staying on top of these things will make sure that you are as prepared as possible for the right opportunity. Knowing that you are prepared is one way to stay positive, you’re ready and waiting for the best job to come your way,” adds Tina Rivers, a regular contributor to Last Minute Writing and Draftbeyond.

 

Have a Routine

Making job searching a part of your routine will make it feel like less of a chore. For now, job searching is your job, so you might as well treat it the same way. Put the same amount of effort into it by waking up early and working hard. However, it is also important to take frequent breaks. Don’t overwork your brain scrolling through the endless opportunities or you will burn yourself out. Set aside specific times where you will search and when you can you have a rest. It’s important that the hunt doesn’t take over every aspect of your life, you should still make time for you.

 

Gain New Skills

The more relevant skills you can add to your CV and your LinkedIn, the more impressed employers are going to be. Use your spare time to learn new skills, take courses, earn certificates in things which will be or could be relevant to your future job. Learning new skills will keep your brain occupied and motivate you with a clear and achievable goal. Every success will help you to feel more positive and more prepared.

 

Setting Goals

It’s important to set ourselves goals, however, many of us are guilty of setting goals which are too far in the future or too difficult to achieve. Take things one step at a time. People love to achieve their goals, it makes us feel accomplished and happy. So set yourself small, attainable goals to help you on your journey. For example, set yourself the goal of going to at least two job fairs or applying to at least five jobs that week. “Once you have completed those, you will feel better as you have done what you set out to do. In the long-run this will help you achieve your longer term goals such as getting a job,” says Joana Judd, HR manager at Writinity and Researchpapersuk.

 

Control the Controllable

Not every aspect of a job hunt is controllable and that can make us feel stressed. In order to stay positive, you have to remind yourself that not everything is controllable and all you can do is to control the controllable. Do your research, work hard, and ask for feedback in the event that you don’t get a job. That way you can improvise on your weakness and do a better job in your next application. Most of all, don’t be too hard on yourself, job hunting takes time, focus on the positives and it will make the process much smoother.

The National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), formerly the All India Pre-Medical Test (AIPMT) is an entrance examination in India for students who wish to study undergraduate courses (MBBS) and dental courses (BDS, MDS) in government or private medical colleges and dental colleges in India. The undergraduate NEET (UG), for MBBS and BDS courses, is currently conducted by the National Testing Agency (NTA), which provides the results to the Directorate General of Health Services at the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare.

The government has taken a landmark decision to increase 2750 seats of MBBS in 25 new medical colleges. This addition will be effective from the academic year 2019-20. However the existing medical colleges had been struggling to find faculties and staff, So it would be a difficult task for new colleges. Now the total number of seats in MBBS would rise to 70,991. This decision has brought a big relief to all the medical aspirants wishing to pursue doctor as career.

Given  below the total number of government colleges and government MBBS seats through NEET 2018 in India.

Career opportunities in tourism and hospitality

0

Selecting where to pursue undergraduate studies is one of the most significant choices one can make. Everyone at IFT understands the significance of that choice and we are committed to helping our new students to develop new intellectual and social skills in order to achieve success in their personal life and in their chosen career.

Our reputation is based on four pillars: teaching excellence; strong ties to the tourism and hospitality industries in Macao and around the world; a learning environment with an international outlook; and top-quality, specialised facilities.

IFT alumni can be found across Macao and around the world. They are building successful careers in key roles: many are hotel executives and tourism entrepreneurs; others have careers in academia. Above all, they are actively involved in their communities and in making a difference in other people’s lives. I am immensely proud of the fact that several IFT faculty members started out as students at our Institute.

The respective futures of our new students are bright. Career opportunities in tourism and hospitality continue to expand. In tourism, the industry is growing worldwide and that translates into rewarding careers, particularly in Asia. In the People’s Republic of China, the development plan for the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area will play a pivotal role in unlocking even greater tourism growth.

At the Institute, the students will have the opportunity to learn, develop new skills and enhance their character in profound ways that more fully equip thetourism and hospitality for life after graduation. The quality of their experience at IFT – and their success – is of utmost importance to every staff member.

Exciting times

The 2018/19 student intake joins IFT at an exciting time. The faculty is preparing to launch its first master’s degree programme and work continues on our second educational hotel – this one to be located at the Taipa Campus. Nonetheless, our long-term goal is unchanged: to contribute further to promoting Macao as a World Centre of Tourism and Leisure, a strategy envisaged by the Macao SAR Government and the Central Government.

The new intake is already remarkable. Each student has had to stand out among her or his peers at the secondary education level in order to win a place at IFT. Every member of the undergraduate intake has great potential. Now each one must work to develop that potential to its fullest. To facilitate their success, 3 suggestions are offered.

First, take responsibility for your studies. Choose the courses that fascinate you. To stay motivated, set a goal and follow a learning path. As every top executive will tell you at any of the guest talks held by IFT, success in tourism and hospitality comes from passion and sustained hard work. By investing in your learning, your choices will create opportunities for career development.

Second, make the most of what IFT offers. Discovering a career that intersects with your passions is a challenge for many people. To discover your ideal career, experiment. To understand better where your passions lie, try new things and build new skills. IFT delivers a range of courses, exchange programmes and extracurricular activities. They include professional short-term courses through our Tourism and Hotel School, and events via our student clubs. These opportunities will help you explore your interests and sample new experiences. IFT offers the tools, but making good use of them is up to each of you.

Third and finally, embrace the diversity of culture and knowledge. Your achievements depend on teamwork, and on the ability to interact with people from different backgrounds and with different ideas. IFT students understand they will be exposed to cultural diversity as part of their learning experience. It may be tempting to stick with the familiar, but meeting new people from cultures other than your own is an important part of your time at IFT.
