Moral value questions in XI, XII subjects

INDORE: Be ready to face questions that may not be directly related to subject. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is going to introduce 'Value-based or moral-values questions' for students of Class XI and XII. The questions will carry three to five marks and will be introduced in 15 major subjects, possibly from new academic session.
The questions will check your concern and would ask you justify your stand and even suggestions to solve any problem. Ashish Saxena, principal of Agarwal Public School said, "We have yet to receive guidelines from the board. But, the new pattern is soon likely to be introduced for the Class XI and XII students. Questions will be based on moral values. The board has decided to follow inter-disciplinary approach." Few days ago when the CBSE chairman visited the city to attend a conference, he had also discussed interdisciplinary approach, he added.
According to sources, the board has also decided to add 5% weightage in the major subjects (English, Hindi, mathematics, biology, physics, chemistry, accountancy, history, geography, business studies, entrepreneurship and economics) in classes XI and XII through questions which will be integrated with the content of the subject and analysed on the basis of the values it reflects. The questions will be for five marks in a paper of 100 marks and three to four marks in a question paper of 70-90 marks, which will "come into effect from next year".
