📊 Official Exam Specification & Mark Distribution
The table below is reconstructed from the detailed specification chart in the PDF. It shows how marks are allocated across four major units of Computer Science.
| Units / Chapters (विषयवस्तु) | Weight (साझा भार) |
Very Short (1 Mark) |
Short (2 Marks) |
Long (4 Marks) |
Total Marks |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1. Computer Fundamentals (कम्प्यूटरका आधारभूत सिद्धान्त) |
34 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 11 |
| 2. Database Management System (डाटाबेस प्रबन्धन प्रणाली) |
42 | 1 | 2 | 2 | 13 |
| 3. Programming in QBasic (क्यूबेसिकमा प्रोग्रामिङ) |
61 | 1 | 2 | 3 | 17 |
| 4. Introduction to C Language (सि भाषाको परिचय) |
29 | 1 | 1 | 1 | 9 |
| Total (योगफल) | 166 | 6 | 7 | 7 | 50 |
