The Blueprint mentions CBA. The following types of Questions are in the CBA Exam Paper.

Multiple-choice questions (MCQs)

An MCQ will contain a question stem with two to four logically framed options. The incorrect options will aid in identifying students’ misconceptions. Students must pick one option among the choices given as the correct answer. MCQs have the following advantages:

They help test various skills, from knowledge of facts to application and inference.
They help pinpoint common errors made by students.

Free Response Questions (FRs)

These are open-ended questions where students will write their own responses without any restrictions. These questions can include
Fill in the blanks: Easy to construct
Very short answers: Help test the writing skills of the students effectively
Short Answers: Tested to check the writing and sentence creation skills of students, or to test the understanding or definition of a particular concept
Long Answers:

When asked in Language, offer students an opportunity to demonstrate their thinking ability, creativity and writing skills.
In Mathematics, such questions help the teachers understand the thought process of a student based on the method the student uses to arrive at an answer, thereby, gauging the knowledge and understanding of a concept
