Outside one of the exam centres, parents shared their concerns about the pressure students have been facing after the cancellation of the earlier exam. Sunder, a resident of Amar Colony in Delhi, whose daughter appeared for the re-test, said that her first paper had gone well, but she was feeling stressed this time.
