New Delhi : The ‘very tough’ Class 12 CBSE mathematics question paper that saw many students in tears on Thursday figured in parliament, with a Congress member asking the government to consider the issue ‘seriously’.
Students and teachers demanded that the board again hold the exam. Raising the issue during zero hour, K V Thomas, the Congress member from Ernakulam in Kerala, said the math exam will affect the future of many students in the country. “The government should take it seriously. In future, when question papers are being set, efforts should be made to rope in experienced and senior people,” he said.
“The mathematics exam was very tough. The questions asked in the exam were not direct. It was way beyond our level and was equivalent to the IIT-JEE test,” said Somil Pahuja.
