What's the story
After cancelling the Class-10 Math and Class-12 Economics exams earlier this week, the CBSE has announced that the retest for the latter will be held on April 25. The Class 10 re-exam will be held only for Delhi and Haryana. The exams had been declared void due to question paper leaks: many students seemed to have accessed the papers hours before the exams.

Reports of the Economics question paper being leaked through social media had emerged hours before the paper commenced Monday. Urging students not to panic, CBSE had denied leaks, but announced a re-test two days later. The Class 12 exam, which began on March 5, was scheduled to end on April 13, but has been pushed back now due to the re-exam.
