How is Kerala Plus Two Journalism officially examined?

Journalism is examined under the Kerala Higher Secondary Examination as a Plus Two (Class 12) theory subject. Logistics commonly describe about 2 hours 30 minutes of Terminal Examination work for 80 marks, plus 20 marks continuous evaluation. Candidates must meet D+ or above with at least 30% aggregate and 30% in TE separately. Confirm the year’s syllabus, timetable, and circulars on dhsekerala.gov.in.

Is this practice bank the same format as the official Plus Two Journalism paper?

No. Official DHSE Plus Two Journalism TE papers mix objective items (including MCQs) with short and longer structured answers. This bank is an English-language multiple-choice study adaptation for concepts and craft only — not an official translation, blueprint replica, or full written-paper simulation.

What syllabus does this bank follow?

It is aligned to Kerala Higher Secondary (Plus Two / Class 12) Journalism / SCERT-style scope: news values and writing, reporting and editing, media ethics, Indian press-law basics, print/broadcast/digital media, public relations, and photojournalism concepts drawn from Higher Secondary Journalism units.

What is the pass mark for Kerala Plus Two Journalism?

DHSE requires D+ or above — commonly a minimum 30% aggregate and at least 30% in the Terminal Examination separately (often 24 marks out of 80 TE for non-practical subjects). Always verify the current Higher Secondary notification for your sitting.

Where should I check official syllabus and results?

Use the Directorate of Higher Secondary Education site at dhsekerala.gov.in, the HSE portal, and results.hse.kerala.gov.in for syllabus materials, circulars, timetables, and published results.
