The CBSE on Wednesday announced re-test in the Class 10 mathematics and Class 12 economics subjects after leaked question papers were allegedly shared on WhatsApp and other social media platforms
The Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar said a new "leak-proof" system would be put in place for conducting the board exams as parents and students said the re-rests were unfair and discouraging.
Here's how the CBSE question papers are set and how the board tries to ensure confidentiality:
Who sets the CBSE question paper?
CBSE identifies 4-5 experts in each subject, including college teachers and school teachers, to set three versions each of a question paper. These teachers send their papers in a sealed envelope to the board. A high-powered committee, including university and school teachers, and principals, check if the question papers follow board's standards. They finalise different sets for each subject and send sealed copies to CBSE.
When does the process start?
The process starts in the month of July and August every year.
How many versions of a question paper are made?
Three sets of question papers for each subject are made for Delhi schools, three sets are set for schools outside Delhi; and three are made for the CBSE affiliated schools outside India. Eighteen more sets are made as back up and some of them are used in compartment exams.
