New Delhi:
CBSE Re-Exam Dates: CBSE has announced the new date for Class 12 economics exam. The exam was cancelled after reports of leaks emerged from capital city New Delhi. According to the dates released by the HRD Ministry's School Education Secretary Anil Swarup IAS, Class 10 maths re-exam is expected to be held in July while the Class 12 economics exam will be conducted on April 25. Mr Swarup said the re-test was being held for the Class 12 paper without waiting for a detailed inquiry to ensure that the results were declared in time for students to meet deadlines for university admission. He said the class 10 examination will be held for students from Delhi and Haryana, if it happen.
Admitting that "some wrong" has happened, Mr Swarup said the CBSE Class 10 maths question paper was leaked only in Delhi and Haryana as there was no evidence that it was a pan-India affair.
"Regarding Class 10th re examination, as leak was restricted to Delhi and Haryana, if it at all a re-exam will happen, it will happen only in Delhi & Haryana and a decision will be taken on this in next 15 days. If at all a re-exam is done, it will be in July," said Education Secretary Anil Swarup IAS.
Mr. Swarup later tweeted that CBSE class 10 Mathematics re-examination to be considered only for Delhi NCR and Haryana after a detailed inquiry.
"If there is a decision to hold re-examination in these two states, it would be held in July. In other states there would be no such re-examination," said Mr. Swarup.
The press conference was attended by Central Board of Secondary Education chairperson Anita Karwal IAS and Mr. Swarup IAS.
"Our immediate concern of the children who have suffered and this decision is in that context. We will nail the person who did this," Mr Swarup said.
There will be no re-examination for Non-Resident Indians or NRI students. He said since the Class 12 economics paper was leaked across the country, but there will be no fresh exam outside of India because there was no leak.
However, Mr. Swarup said the decision to conduct fresh exams in April won't affect the date of publication of the CBSE results which usually happens in May end.
Asked about rumours that several CBSE question papers were leaked, he said false information was being spread through social media.
The CBSE decision came as students and their parents took to the streets across India to denounce the question paper leak and, in some cases, demand the sacking of the CBSE head Anita Karwal IAS. The leak and re-test has affected lakhs of students and forced their families to postpone or cancel planned holidays.
The CBSE runs 19316 affiliated schools in India and 211 schools in 25 foreign countries.
