Half of the questions in this three-hour paper will be subjective; the remaining
half will be objective in nature.
The Gujarat Secondary and Higher Secondary Education
Board (GSHSEB) has decided to conduct the examination for Sanskrit, an optional paper
for class X on February 21. The board examinations of class X and XII are starting
March 5th. This year, the GSHSEB will set the question paper for all schools in
the state, a deviation from last year when respective schools had decided on the
questions. Sources said that “the decision to set a uniform question paper for Sanskrit
was taken in the wake of several complaints that many schools are showing lackadaisical
approach in teaching and conducting exams for this particular subject”. While half
of the questions in this three-hour paper will be subjective, the remaining half
will be objective in nature. The schools will have to evaluate the papers and send
the marks to the board. GSHSEB's helpline to guide class X and XII students to deal
with their exam blues will be operational from February 22nd to March 23rd. Teachers
and psychologists will answer all exam related queries of students and parents on
the toll free number 18002335500.
