Bhubaneswar: Odisha government has decided to distribute sample question papers among Class 10 students appearing for the annual High School Certificate (HSC) or Matric Examination 2024 conducted by the Board of Secondary Education (BSE).
Directorate of Secondary Education, Odisha has stated that the move is aimed at helping students of Class 10 understand the question patterns and enable them to prepare well for the ensuing HSC examination.
Secondary Education Director Sushanta Kumar Das informed all the District Education Officers (DEOs) about dispatching of the sample question papers prepared as per the existing examination patterns and asked the officials to make arrangements so that the sample papers reach all the students.
“One set of sample papers each of Odia, English, Hindi, Sanskrit, Mathematics, Science and Social Sciences has been sent. There will be similar question papers in the matric examination. This sample paper will be helpful in the preparation of board exams for class 10 students,” the letter read.
The DEOs have been asked to share the sample question papers with the headmasters and headmistresses of their respective districts.
While the Education Department thinks sample papers will help the students score more in the exams, some educationists are of a different opinion.
