CBSE to announce re-exam dates on April 2 or 3
What's the story
In the wake of paper leaks, Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar today said, the CBSE is expected to announce the next date of re-examination for Class 10 Mathematics and Class 12 Economics subjects probably on Monday or Tuesday. The Minister termed the CBSE examination paper leak issue "unfortunate" and said culprits would not go scot-free. Here are more details.
Punishment
We will not let any culprit go scot-free: Javadekar
"We will not let any culprit go scot-free. The police is on the job and I am very sure, they will nab the culprits as they have done in case of the SSC-exam leak case. We have also instituted an internal inquiry," Javadekar said. He said he could understand the pain, anguish, and frustrations of students and parents because "we are one of them".
Earned a name
CBSE has a good name for conducting examination
The CBSE has earned a name for conducting good examination and was, therefore, assigned the task of conducting medical entrance examination by the SC, Javadekar said. "Being a sensible parent I could not sleep last night. We must make all efforts to ensure that this exam go really without any breach though culprits may be using newer ways and methods," the minister added.
