In a decision that is set to bring cheers to the examinees of CBSE Class X, the Human Resource Development (HRD) Ministry on Tuesday decided not to conduct a re-examination for mathematics paper, which was alleged to have been leaked a few minutes before the exam. The decision was taken after the CBSE said that Class X is just an “internal segment” of school education system.
CBSE issued statement saying, “Class X examination is essentially a gateway for Class XI and thus remains largely an internal segment of school education.”
Education Secretary Anil Swarup had earlier in the day said, “Consequent to a preliminary evaluation of the impact of the reportedly leaked CBSE Class X maths paper & keeping in mind the paramount interest of students, the CBSE has decided not to conduct a re-examination, even in Delhi-NCR and Haryana. Hence, no re-exam for Class X.”
