The 3-hour CBSE English Paper which consisted of three sections began at 10:30 and covered questions worth 70 marks in total. The three sections and their respective marks were divided as follow:
• Section A: Reading (20 marks)
• Section B: Writing and Grammar (25 marks)
• Section C: Literature (25 marks)
