CBSE class 10 Hindi: The Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) will conduct class 10 Hindi exam tomorrow – February 29 for over 18 lakh students barring those whose exam centre falls in the violence-affected area in Delhi. While the passing marks remain the 33 per cent in this exam, to score high students need to focus on the grammar section, as advised by Dr Arvind Kumar, PGT Hindi, VidyaGyan School.
“This is the time when students should not read anything new. They need to focus on the grammar section. This requires a fresh approach. If done well, it can prove to be scoring. This 16-mark section is actually a division-deciding factor for students and therefore, one needs to be careful while attempting this section,” said Dr Kumar.

He also suggested students to ‘focus on value-based questions’. “One should go through entire NCERT chapters. This would help them have a deeper understanding of the subjects. Moral value-based chapters are expected to have bigger questions.”
“While attempting the exam, students need to stay within the word limit and need not waste time in writing more than asked. This also increases chances of errors and leaves students with less time,” he added.

Yamini Pradhan from Genesis Global School asked students to make a mind-map of every chapter before going for the exam. “Create a mind map of every chapter. One can write point-wise ummary of every chapter this will be best way of revision. Writing will help in correcting spellings as well,” she said while adding, “For writing section one needs to be careful of the formats. For smaas and muhavra practice from the examples given inside the book.”
During the exam, said Pradhan. “think and then start writing so you have a structure to your answers. Also, for the questions which ask for example, write examples too else marks will be deducted.”
Based on an earlier interaction with Monica Garg from Genesis Global, character sketch of Bade Bhai Sahab, summery of Manushya, character sketch of Kantara Vamir and Veer Ali are among frequently asked questions. Character and significance of the role of Vazir Ali in Kartoos is also an important question.
For essays and writing sections, students need to keep an eye on current affairs. Yesterday’s class 12 English exam had questions on ‘no detention policy’ and other opinion and current affair-based questions.
The next exam for class 10 is of science. This will be the first exams for class 10 students from violence-hit parts of Delhi. CBSE has decided to go on with schedule from March 2 onwards.
