Competency Based Question
What are
competency-based questions?
To break the habit of rote learning CBSE has come up with a new type of question
format for class 9th to 12th. It will help to boost the IQ of students to enable them to
compete with international students.
Now we come to the first question – what is competency-based questions. CBSE will
assess the students of class 9th to 12th on the basis of the application of concepts in real
life or unfamiliar situation. CBSE has termed this new type competency-based
questions.
Now onwards reading lesson summary would not do the work. Students have to read the
lesson thoroughly, word by word, to grasp it in a proper way.
You may be asked real life-based questions here, which may look like- what would you
have done if you were in place of Lencho?
The story does not tell the readers about the reaction of Lencho’s wife after the help-
seeking letter incident but the examiner might ask you – Write a conversation between
Lencho and his wife after he comes back from the post office. OR
Do you think Amanda was a rude child? How would you react if your mobile phone is
lost?
