Weightage of marks over different dimensions of the question paper shall be as follows:
A. Weightage to different topics/content units:
1 | Review of C++ covered in Class XI | 12 |
2 | Object Oriented Programming in C++ | 12 |
3 | Data Structure & Pointers | 14 |
4 | Data File Handling in C++ | 6 |
5 | Databases and SQL | 8 |
6 | Boolean Algebra | 8 |
7 | Communication and Open Source Concepts | 10 |
Total | 70 |
B. Weightage to different forms of questions:
Sl no | Forms of Questions | Marks for each question |
No of questions | Total marks | 1 | Very Short Answer questions (VSA) | 01 | 09 | 09 |
2 | Short answer questions - Type I (SA I) | 02 | 13 | 26 |
3 | Short answer questions - Type II (SA II) | 03 | 05 | 15 |
4 | Long answer questions (LA) | 04 | 05 | 20 |
Total | 32 | 70 |
C. Scheme of Options: There will be no overall choice. All questions are compulsory.
D. Difficulty level of questions:
Sl no | Estimated difficulty level | Percentage of marks |
1 |
Easy | 15% | 2 | Average | 70% |
3 | Difficult | 15% |
- Based on the above design, two sets of sample papers along with their blue prints and Marking schemes have been included in this document.
- About 20% weightage has been assigned to questions testing higher order thinking (HOT) skills of learners.
