CBSE Class 12 Accountancy Answer Key 2023 and Question Papers, Download PDF
CBSE Class 12 Accountancy Answer Key 2023: The exam season is almost over now. Only a few papers are left, and today, the highly important Accountancy exam was conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Lakhs of students appeared for the accountancy exam, which is a core subject of the commerce stream. Accountancy is an analytical and application-based subject that is low on theory. There are concepts and definitions that students must be familiar with, but most of the topics require critical thinking.
As such, accountancy is a complex subject that confounds many CBSE class 12 students, and they breathe a sigh of relief after the exam. One universal habit is discussing the question paper among peers once the exam concludes. This is not a recommended practice as it can reveal glaring errors in the answers and affect the mindset of candidates. However, reviewing the paper is an irresistible habit. Doing so can also disclose mistakes in the question paper itself so students can dispute it later. Check the reliable and expert-reviewed CBSE class 12 Accountancy answer key for SET 1, 2, 3 and 4 here.
