Several teachers and students had approached the Board with the plea that the paper held on March 12 had certain errors in the comprehension passage section.
The CBSE has decided to provide compensation of two marks to Class X students for a typing error in the English question paper.
Several
teachers and students had approached the Board with the plea that the
paper held on March 12 had certain errors in the comprehension passage
section.
Students had to read a passage and write synonyms for the
words endurance, obstruction, and motivation. But the paragraphs they
were supposed to look at were incorrectly marked, they had said in an
online petition.
“The typing error has been noticed and it has
been Board’s policy to not let students face any disadvantage. The
marking scheme has been decided in interest of students, and all those
who appeared for the particular question will be awarded two marks,” a
senior CBSE official said.
The Class X and XII board examinations began on March 5 and will conclude by April 25.
