THE HIGH School mathematics second paper, earlier cancelled in Varanasi district on April 3, was conducted smoothly here on Thursday.
Uttar Pradesh Higher Secondary Board officials had cancelled the second paper (code QP 832 (EI) in Varanasi due to leakage in Ballia a couple of days before the scheduled date of the examination.
As many as 29,180 students appeared in the mathematics second examination at 157 centres across the district. “The examination was conducted smoothly,” confirmed district inspector of schools (Varanasi) Onkar Shukla.
However, for students, Thursday’s paper was more difficult than that distributed on April 3.
“Some questions which were difficult enough to be worth four marks carried just two marks,” said High School student Vinay Jaiswal at Sanatan Dharma Inter College in Nai Sarak area.
Another student Sushant Gupta said some questions on geometry were more difficult than those in the April 3 paper.
Meanwhile, evaluation of answer-sheets of High School and Intermediate examinations began at six centres in Varanasi on Wednesday.
The evaluation process is scheduled to be completed in 15 days. Answer-sheets are being evaluated at Government Queen’s College (Lahurabeer), Prabhu Narayan Inter College (Ramnagar), Bharatiya Shiksha Mandir Inter College (Englishialine), BP Gujarat Vidya Mandir Inter College (Bhaironath), Mahabodhi Inter College (Sarnath) and Ram Krishna Vidya Mandir Inter College (Siddhgiribagh).
