CBSE Class 12 exam: Students allege maths paper leak

Many teachers claimed some sample questions released by the CBSE before the exams had figured in the paper, and students were misinterpreting it as a leak.

The students said the question paper was similar to the one leaked on Sunday. “After exam, some students showed an identical question paper in their phones,” said a class 12 student from Chakradharpur.

Many teachers claimed some sample questions released by the CBSE before the exams had figured in the paper, and students were misinterpreting it as a leak.

A student from Delhi Public School, Ranchi, claimed that more than 90% of the questions in the leaked paper found place in the actual paper and that too in the same sequence. “There should be a re-examination if the paper was actually leaked, otherwise undeserving students would come out with good marks,” she said.

Ranchi CBSE coordinator Manohar Lal said, “I have spoken to the CBSE regional office in Patna. The paper was not leaked. This matter is closed for now.”
