The Madhya Pradesh Board of Secondary Education (MPBSE) revises the examination pattern for Classes 9 to 12 starting with the 2026–27 academic session. According to multiple reports, the board removes internal choice in two-mark questions in main subjects.
The change affects how students answer shorter questions, while longer questions retain flexibility. Sources agree that internal choice continues for three- and four-mark questions. In addition, the board introduces internal choices in five- and seven-mark questions for NSQF subjects, further adjusting question structure beyond main subjects.
Outlets frame the revision mainly as a shift in marking and question-choice rules for different marks, with the key point being the selective removal of choice only for two-mark questions in main subjects from the new session. The reports do not indicate other structural changes such as syllabus or grading criteria.
