The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the class 12 sociology paper of the term 2 exams today, May 6. As per students and experts, the question paper was good and students were happy with the exam. The questions were mostly application- and inference-based. The paper had a total of four sections and featured long and short type questions.
“The questions were predictable but mostly application based. There were direct questions in four and six markers, whereas the short answer questions were all inference based. Special designated marks were given for examples, which is a first. This will help students to use a case-study based approach to justify a concept. Overall, the paper was very good, and students were very happy,” says Debjani Banerjee, HOD Psychology, Sociology and Home Science, Shiv Nadar School, Gurugram.
