CBSE paper leak: The incidents dogging parents and students alike in the past few days have seen CBSE Chairperson Anita Karwal issuing the statement that the decision to hold re-examination for class 10 mathematics and class 12 economics papers was taken in favour of the students and that the CBSE re-examination dates for the tests would be announced soon. In the latest CBSE news, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar said that the board was likely to announce on Monday or Tuesday the re-examination dates. Affected students, for their part, on Friday protested outside the CBSE office in Delhi. Meanwhile, the Delhi Police interrogated a private tutor from a Rajinder Nagar coaching centre over CBSE paper leaks. However, no person has so far been arrested, according to the police.
While the authorities tried to reach the "point of origin" of the CBSE papers leaked through WhatsApp ahead of the examinations, a group of students staged a protest against the CBSE question paper leaks at Jantar Mantar in Delhi on Thursday. The students demanded either a re-examination of all subjects or none at all. The question paper of class 12 economics exam, held on March 26, and the Maths question paper of the class 10 exam, held on March 28, were leaked on social media hours before the examination time. Subsequently, the CBSE announced a re-examination and police investigation into the matter.
What action is being taken over the CBSE paper leaks?
The Delhi Police crime branch said they were trying to trace the trail of the paper leaks. "We are trying to trace the trail of the paper leak. One private tutor was named by CBSE in its complaint; he is being interrogated," said R P Upadhyay, special Commissioner of Police, Delhi. Further, the crime branch questioned 25 people, including 18 students and five tutors, in connection with the leak of CBSE examination papers.
The CBSE Chairperson's remarks that the re-test was in favour of the students came a day after CBSE said in a circular that students would have to take re-test for Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics subjects. However, statements are not proving to be adequate, with many students and parents facing the pain of the decision. The All India Democratic Students' Organisation's Delhi unit has demanded a high-level probe into the CBSE question paper leak case. The organisation said that the case showed the board's "utter negligence" in conducting examinations fairly.
While students scrambled for the latest CBSE news and kept an eye out for the CBSE reexamination date, the CBSE paper leak became a political issue, with the Congress targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi over the leak. The Opposition party sought the sacking of Human Resource Development Minister Prakash Javadekar and CBSE Chairperson Anita Karwal. The Congress also sought a probe by a sitting High Court judge.
Here are the top 10 developments in the CBSE paper leak saga, the announcement of CBSE re-examination dates, and the probe into the matter:
1) 'Students are suffering due to CBSE's mistakes': Agitating over the CBSE paper leak, affected students on Friday protested outside the CBSE office in Delhi, news agencies reported. They said that "students are suffering due to CBSE's mistakes".
