The exam according to the students was an easy attempt.

With question papers distributed at 10:15 am and 15 minutes given to read the paper, the two-hour exam started at 10:30 am.

Krish, a Class 10 student of BCM Arya Model Senior Secondary School, said, “There were a total of seven questions in the exam and I completed my paper within 90 minutes. I found it really simple.”

Another student Abhinav said the exam was much simpler than expected.

However, CBSE conducted the board exams in two terms for the first time ever amid Covid-19 infection cases in the country.

Notably, the said board has decided to conduct single term final board exams from the next session like in the pre-Covid period.

A day before the commencement of the CBSE board exams on April 26, hundreds of parents and students sought cancellation of exams citing the lives of their children at risk amid Covid. The twitter was bombarded with the ‘cancellation of exams’ campaign requesting the Prime Minister Narendra Modi to cancel or postpone the exams.

Class 10 exams will conclude on May 24.
