New Delhi: The Class 12 economics paper will be held nationwide on 25 April, the government said on Friday but the Central Board of Secondary Education, or CBSE, appears to be having second thoughts on a re-exam for the Class 10 Maths paper. The re-test will be held for Class 10 students in Delhi and Haryana only if it is required, Union Education Secretary Anil Swarup said.

At least 35 people, including students, parents and coaching centre owners, have been questioned in connection with the probe into the leak.
