Central Board of Secondary Education [CBSE] Complaints & Reviews

Respected Sir / Madam,

Sub: Request to take necessary actions to normalize the fee that was hiked by Lotus National School management exponentially – Regarding

Ref: With reference to the information received from LNS Management dated 8th Feb'19

We would like to bring to your kind perusal about our serious concerns of raising the fee by the Lotus National School Management exponentially.

Background:

We received one letter suddenly from LNS Management about the fee hike on 8th Feb'19 from our wards which was showing around 63% hike on the existing fees to our surprise. Then we, parents of LNS, collectively reached out to Head of Campus (Hydrguda LNS Campus) to explain our concerns and she arranged for a meeting with the management. Post that, they have discussed internally with their senior management and adjusted to some extent which is still beyond the capacity of the parents. Along with that, they also mentioned new additional conditions which are mentioned as below:

1. All books and uniforms should be purchased from school premises only. No exception to any parents. But if our elder child has passed out one class and we can use those books to our second child. But this was completely denied by the management and pushing us to buy new set of books from the school. Also they changed the uniform colors to make the parents buy forcefully. this was not informed to any of the parents during the fist meeting. They also made a combo pack of irrelevant items, like, slates, News paper, Bags etc (For all classes of 1 to 10), These prices are quite high (Rs. 8700 per student) compared to open market prices as well.

2. Transportation cost has also increased by 50% which is also not acceptable.

With the sudden increase in school fee and the points mentioned above, it is coming to be more than 50% of overall hike. Also as per CBSE rules, we think, there is no mandate to buy the books from the school as we are getting better discounts from external vendors. Earlier this was not a mandate from the school, but now they are forcing all the parents to buy from school premises.

We submitted one more letter to HoC to reconsider and make the overall fee hike to maximum of 10%. But we got a disappointing message back saying that the management is not going to consider any of the parents’ requests. With this we are left with no option except escalating the issue to your kind perusal to get justice to all. Also for your information, lot of parents started taking Transfer Certificates because of this unbearable fee structure. This LNS is known to be a good budget school, but we could see this getting transformed to a corporate school.

Request you to take an immediate action on this to reduce the fee and also allow us to purchase books from our own interested shop.

Thanks a lot for all your support.

Hyderabad, Your’s faithfully,

31-Mar-2019 LNS Parents Group

An invigilator always came in the exam hall in every exam and told answers to the girl in every exam. If you don't believe me then you can ask the roll numbers near her. In set exam that invigilator did her map work herself. On asking her(student's) friend I came to know that the invigilator was her home tutor. This is very wrong and I don't think this should happen in board exam.I know her roll no. so if you want to know it I can tell you. You can contact me on "[protected]@gmail.com"

My second complaint is that set 2 of every exam was difficult more that set 1 and 3. I got set 1 in each exam and my friend got set 2 . On seeing his paper I noticed that it was more difficult. Please I demand that wrong must not happen with the students who got set 2 as we all are same and know how it feels

THANKYOU

We have CSI EWART GLOBAL SCHOOL, PURASAWALKAM, CHENNAI[protected] here in which is cbse SCHOOL are asking the parents to pay the fee and purchase new dress EVERY YEAR and book from there premises.
The school is trying to mint money every year and this has become a business.
Academic starts in month of june and they are asking us to pay the fees now in march, including the transport fees in march itself.
This is unfair practice cbse board should take actions on the CSI EWART GLOBAL SCHOOL try to mint money every year before the academic starts.

Sir/ ma'am... lately i gone for board checking of class 10th..there i had gone through a problem.. it was instructed us by HE that we have to consider only that answers which was given by cbse board..but my question is that as we r teachers we only what would be the other corrected answers of particular questions..then why the students should face the loss in marks eventhough he is correct... so please give this freedom to we teachers that we can also consider our answers as right... there i faced so much problem regarding checking by HE... as he was not the teacher of that subject thn how could he blame us that we r wrong... please pay attention as this was a concering topic which is against a student

I am Agam . Class 10 student and I hope for scoring above 95% but later on When the different questions in different set I saw then i realised that Set 1 is too direct and easy as compared to my set 2 and other Set 3
Specially Q.no 24 in Social science exam was too difficult for an above average student also . It doesn't provide fair chance of scoring more to all students .
I request to provide full marks in Social science Q.no 24 to all
And also for questions that are different in sets should be checked leniently.

With reference to above, In Section C, Question no. 8 & 10, are very much confusing. Pattern of Questions printed created confusion among students. Many of the students answered the 'or' questions for 5 marks instead of attempting a, b & c. Later on it was bought to our notice that the 'or' question was only substitute of question no.c. Even we parents were came to know the truth behind question paper in late. In this way '8' marks of the students are at stake. The students who answered by interpreting the questions in such manner will straight away loose 8marks despite of giving their best efforts for the exam. CBSE, such a vast organization, who decides the future of the students Pan India, should thoroughly scrutinized the Questions Papers, before the date of the Examination. The Question Paper should be very clear and transparent, while mentioning the marks in the right side of the Question. Proper Gap should be maintained before the Substitute Questions. So, requesting you to do justice with those unfortunate students and consider for grace/ lenient marking in the above mentioned two questions, with due consideration of the state of mind of the students in the Examination hall.

The teachers in the school glorious public school sec 9 rohini delhi 85 were very agressive during my board exam at that school they became furious even for asking for water the benches were small and moving they stopped children to even smile and referred that as code of misconduct which disturbed me and other students during the exam and shook my confidence the teachers started shouting even before starting of the exam which was distubing the school did not had proper wash rooms nd water supply and was not clean please take action

I'm a parent of girl studying in class 10. The social science exam conducted on 29.03.2019 was not in line with cbse standards. Set 3 question paper was very tough. Especially question no. 24 in section c was out of syllabus. Please award full marks for this question.in fact. All the question papers in set 3 were very tough. Therefore please correct leniently.

My kid appeared in class 10 board exam and she is blaming about the unfair 3 set exam which entirely relies on luck. Question no 24 in all the other sets were different from the one in set 3. How can this be equally challenging all the students? We aren't fools to accept all this unfair means. I can't digest with question no 24. Please take care about our kids future and grant them full marks for question 24.
I plea to correct answer sheet leniently and award them full mark for q 24.

I am a student of class 10 and had given mathematics board exam on 7 march. I had received set 1 for all india.in my set, question number 24 of arithmetic progression which was of 4 marks was out of syllabus and had a level for class 11. I have seen similar type of questions as that of question number 24 in class 11 ncert book in chapter sequences and series. But there is no similar question as that of question 24 in ncert book class 10 and ncert exampler book class 10. I request you to look into this matter and provide full marks for question no. 24 as it was for class 11 level. Also, set 2 and set 3 for maths exam were quiet easy as compared to set 1. So, in my opinion, 2 more extra marks should be provided as grace to students who were given set 1 which had more difficulty level. I have always been a bright student and don't want to lose marks for an out of syllabus question.

My daughter is studying class 10. She had got set 3 in sst exam. My daughter always gives me a positive feedback about the exams conducted in school. About board exam she is not doing so. The 3 set question model isn't fair and q no 24 in set 3 is entirely different from 2&1. There are 2 invigillators and qr code more than this 3 sets aren't needed. Q no 24 isn't fair in 3rd set.
Requesting board to provide full mark

Respected sir / ma’am
I am a student of class x and had received set 1 for the social science exam. Question 8 has been misprinted : describe the great economic hardship that prevailed in europe during the 1930’s. Instead of 1830’s, the year 1930’s has been printed and many students have attempted according to mentioned year
Kindly provide grace marks

Namaste ji
I am yashvanth of class 10. I faced a great difficulty to answer set 3 question 24 in social science exam. No one in my class including teachers expected this type of question. And set 3 was very difficult in all the exams when compare to other sets. It's discouraging the ones cursed like me. It some how forced us to believe that everything depends on our luck.
Pls respect our feeling and grant us mark.

I am parent of class 10 student who is one of the topper in his scl. He is veŕy upset of sst set 3 question paper. He managed to attempt all the questions but question no 24 was really horrible. Cbse students always tend to use their creativity to answer but q24 was like memorizing the names and symbols of regional parties of all 29 states and it was updated in 2007.
I request board to provide marks

Social science question paper for class 10 set 3 was disappointing. Question no.24 was not making sense while in other sets the same question was easy and direct. Because of this my dream of centum in social science dropped down
Like castle in air. I feel cbse didn't realise that our future lies in our mark.
Pls consider our situation and grant us mark

I am a student of class 10.in social set 1 and 2 were easy but set 3 was like mugging up everything. I had expected centum in social. But question 24 wasn't like testing our knowledge.
It is really unfair. The real intelligence of students can be checked by providing same question to each.
I request board to consider the same and provide us with grace mark to the particular question

I'm a parent of girl studing in class 10 as there was yesterday (29.03.2019) sst exam set 2 and 3 question no. 24 in section c was out of syllabus. While the other set that was set 1 had the same question which was very easy, then why should children of set 2 and 3 suffer. I request board member to see it and provide grace marks to the students. The students who are expecting full marks will suffer because of this
With regards

As a student, i understand the problems our parents have to go through for us. Schools are charging unnecessary charges and cbse is just staying dormant.in delhi, schools are charging development charges, admission fee disguised as 'donation', annual charges etc. What is it? Do they aim to loot us to educate us? They force us to buy unnecessary books that they don't even teach the whole year. Hence, i would like that cbse, atleast once, understands this problem and please investigate the fee structure again. Our parents have to play atleast rs50, 000/month in vain for pitiful and rote learning 'education'. Cbse is just blowing its own trumpet for 20+ years and haven't reviewed a school properly. We have to pay atleast 10 lakhs a year. Sir, please understand our condition!!!

Psychology question paper was a huge disappointment. Tricky questions with double answers. Especially q 1 (Part b), q 3, q-6. Q 9 3 answers for 1 marker, q 21, q23 (Option b) and q 27 (Option a)

Please consider them with better marking scheme otherwise many will struggle in passing. This is effect many top scorers and weak students.

Students have time and examination stress playing on them lets not be so mean and lets give them benefit of doubt.

Am a student of class 10.in social set 1 and 2 were easy while 3 was quite tricky. I had expected centum in social. But question 24 was very difficult. It was an unexpected and difficult question. It was very complex to remember those regional party with symbol for 29 states.
In 1 and 2 it was only asked to distinguish between state and national parties which is very easy. It is only needed to remember the 6 national parties with which they can manage to answer.
It is really unfair. The real intelligence of students can be checked by providing same question to everyone that is just by changing the question order.
I request board to consider the same and provide us with grace mark to the particular question
