The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has released sample papers in the form of the Sample Question Paper (SQP), along with the marking scheme (MS) on the official website. The board does not officially issue separate half-yearly sample papers, but many of the questions in the final CBSE sample papers cover topics that appear in the half-yearly exam. Schools also often provide their own sample papers specifically for CBSE half-yearly exams. Also, students can refer to the chapter-wise sample papers books for preparation for the half-yearly exam. As of now, CBSE half-yearly exams have begun in some schools, and others will conduct them soon. Also, the CBSE 12th half-yearly syllabus differs from school to school.

Hello Pruthvi,

Taking a drop year to reappear for the Karnataka Common Entrance Test (KCET) is a well-defined process. As a repeater, you are fully eligible to take the exam again to improve your score and secure a better rank for admissions.

The main procedure involves submitting a new application for the KCET through the official Karnataka Examinations Authority (KEA) website when registrations open for the next academic session. You must pay the required application fee and complete all formalities just like any other candidate. A significant advantage for you is that you do not need to retake your 12th board exams. Your previously secured board marks in the qualifying subjects will be used again. Your new KCET rank will be calculated by combining these existing board marks with your new score from the KCET exam. Therefore, your entire focus during this year should be on preparing thoroughly for the KCET to achieve a higher score.

For more details about the KCET Exam preparation, CLICK HERE.

I hope this answer helps you. If you have more queries, feel free to share your questions with us, and we will be happy to assist you.

Thank you, and I wish you all the best in your bright future.

Yes, you can switch from Science in Karnataka State Board to Commerce in CBSE for 12th. You will need a Transfer Certificate from your current school and meet the CBSE school’s admission requirements. Since you haven’t studied Commerce subjects like Accountancy, Economics, and Business Studies, you may need to catch up before or during 12th. Not all CBSE schools accept direct admission to 12th from another board, so some may ask you to join Class 11 first. Make sure to check the school’s rules and plan your subject preparation.
