Class XII eco, Class X maths exams to be held again: CBSE
New Delhi: Within 90 minutes of the end of CBSE’s Class X maths exam on Wednesday, the board declared that students will have to sit for a retest following reports of the
question paper having been leaked. Re-examination will also be held for the Class XII economics paper, which was also allegedly leaked, as reported by TOI.
Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said the leaks could be the handiwork of an organised gang and assured students that the ministry will take strict action against the guilty. He also promised to provide a more secure mechanism to carry out the exams.
It is learnt that Prime Minister Narendra Modi spoke to Javadekar, expressing concern over the leaks.
The maths paper leak was a stinging embarrassment to CBSE, as the Class X board exams were being held after eight years. According to CBSE sources, the board was apprised of “another” probable leak on Tuesday night itself.
A CBSE statement said the board had taken cognisance of “certain happenings in the conduct of certain examinations”. It decided to re-conduct the Class X maths and Class XII economics papers to “uphold sanctity of the board and in the interest of fairness to the students”. “Dates for fresh examinations and other details shall be hosted on the CBSE website within a week,” read the exam notice.
While TOI received a handwritten version of the Class XII economics paper on the day of the exam (Monday), the leaked maths paper (also handwritten) was sent to this reporter on Tuesday night itself. It was received at 9.10pm.
TOI had earlier reported that it had access to a handwritten paper, alleged to match with Set 1 of the CBSE economics paper that students had sat for on Monday. The Class X Maths paper, too, had been circulated widely in teacher and student groups, with some children in Bihar and Abu Dhabi also claiming that they had access to the “leaked” paper.
However, this was not the only version of the leaked paper doing the rounds. Students TOI spoke to had scans of a printed paper they claimed had been sent to them on Tuesday night. Students said many questions from the “leaked” paper figured in the actual Class X maths paper.
The handwriting in the leaked maths paper sent to TOI was different from what has been sent in the case of economics and biology. A similar allegation of paper leak was made during the Class XII accountancy exam. This was acknowledged by the deputy CM.
