Attempt 45 Questions out of Total 50

The notice released by the CBSE Board is addressed to both Students and Evaluators and explains the correct way of marking answers in the OMR sheet for the CBSE Term 1 Exam. The first important point that the notice mentions is that, students are required only to mark answers for any 45 questions out of the total 50 asked in the question paper. The notice also says that in case the student attempts or marks all 50 questions, only the first 45 questions will be considered as part of the evaluation process. The notice also clarifies that under no circumstances will the board consider best of 50 marked answers as a policy to calculate marks for the marks.

Completely Darken the Circles to be considered Only

Another important thing that the official notice states is the way in which answers are to be marked in the OMR sheet. In order for an answer to be considered as marked correctly, students need to 'Completely darkening of the circle.’ Any other way, including darkening only part of the circle or marking a tick or right mark on the circle will be considered as invalid marking.

In case a student doesn't want to attempt a question, the correct way of filling the OMR sheet is shown in the image. They are only required to darken the circle given under the (#) and not any other circle/box. If no circle is marked for a particular question and leaves it completely blank, it would be considered under the category of 'Unfair Means' or UFM. It is advisable not to do so.
