New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will not conduct the re-examination for class X mathematics paper.
The HRD ministry on Tuesday decided against conducting the re-examination of the maths paper following reports of paper leak, in the 'interest of students'.
"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 the states of Delhi NCR and Haryana. Hence, no re-exam for class X," education secretary Anil Swarup said.
The ministry had last week announced that the re-examination of the CBSE class XII economics paper would be held on April 25. It had said the class X mathematics re-test, if required, would be conducted only for Delhi-NCR and Haryana in July.
The announcement had come after the board received complaints that question papers of two subjects were leaked.
