Complain if you are upset with CBSE question paper
Schools upset about incorrect or “out-of-course” questions in this year’s Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) public examinations can seek redress by submitting a list of concerns to the board within 24 hours of the examination.
The country’s largest secondary education board has asked all affiliated schools to desist from complaining about question papers to the media and has put in place a formal redress mechanism for the first time.
In a letter to all affiliated schools ahead of the board examinations that started today, the CBSE has promised that an expert panel will examine all concerns sent by schools within 24 hours of the examination.
These complaints, if found justified by the expert panel, will be taken into account while finalising the marking scheme for the subject, the letter by the board’s chief controller of examinations, M.C. Sharma, states.
The question papers for the Class X and XII board exams are finalised after layers of scrutiny.
