The Rajasthan Board, implementing NEP 2020, has increased the number of assessment columns in class 10‑12 answer sheets from 36 to 40 and has printed one crore new copies.
The Rajasthan State Board of School Education announced a revision to the answer sheets used for classes ten to twelve, aligning the format with the National Education Policy 2020. Under the new layout, the assessment section will contain forty columns, up from the previous thirty‑six.
Board officials said the additional columns are intended to capture a broader range of student responses and provide a more detailed evaluation of learning outcomes. The change applies uniformly to all schools affiliated with the board across the state.
To support the rollout, the board has commissioned the printing of one crore answer‑sheet copies in the updated format. The large‑scale print run is expected to meet the demand for the upcoming examination cycle and ensure a smooth transition for students and educators alike.
