Modification in class 12 English Core for 2013-14 onwards

CBSE has issued a notification to all the affiliated school about some modification in class 12 English Core syllabus.

the long reading text / novel – ‘Lord of Flies’ by William Golding prescribed for class XII English Core subject in the CBSE Curriculum 2014 and 2015 has been dropped for this session i.e. 2013-14 onwards. Instead there will be two questions from the other long reading text/ novel ‘The Hound of Baskervilles’ by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – on plot, theme or incidents and characterization in the final examination of March 2014. Hence, there will be no choice of novels in class XII English Core.
