This is to express my grave disappointment regarding this year's CBSE Board maths paper held on March 14, 2016. I was not able to complete my paper and had to leave around 15 marks worth of questions As you may have been briefed by now about the plight of the students after appearing for the exams, my views on the issue are a bit more practical, which I hope will reach the respective authorities.
We solve 10-year papers and those are all direct questions. This time, 80% of the questions were indirect. The paper was not too tough in the overall sense. It was a moderate level paper. Anyone with a well-enough understanding of the subject could score good in it. The major problem was the fact that majority of the questions were time-taking and any student would have to first stop and think about how to start. But there is no time to stop and think in a maths paper!
The 6 markers were little lengthy, but the 4 markers were all lengthier and more tricky than they were supposed to be. Most of the 4 markers contained questions that are usually asked in 6 mark questions, with the same amount of elaborate steps and calculation to be done.
The concerned authorities are kindly requested to please consider subsequent measures in ensuring that the students do not suffer in their overall scores simply because of one single paper going bad.
One single paper can shatter the overall aggregates. I humbly request you to please offer lenient marking in the paper or any other measure you feel right in undertaking.
I hope my views reach the high office and sincere actions be taken. Thank you

    This year, the paper was really lengthy and its completely very nice of the guy who set this QP so that students will be filled with ecstasy.I was confused if
    I was writing class 12 maths paper or 12 class(ic) maths papers together.
    I got barely 5 mins for LPP question.Just because it was Einstein;s birthday, it doesn't mean the students writing the exam are also Einsteins.

      Sir/Madam,
      As you know the cbse maths paper for class 12th was very hard and lengthy as well. Most of the questions were hots. If we are told to study from NCERT book then why did the questions came from other reference books which many students cannot afford. Since the exam has been conducted, we can only request you to check the paper liniently anf give grace marks.
      I would further request you to either update/change ncert books or give questions from the prescribed book in the exams.
      Yours sincerely
      Class 12th student

        Maths Paper this year was tough as well as lengthy. Such questions were not expected. Either conduct the paper again or check it very leniently. It is enough to bring our percents down and spoil our career. Not able to sleep due to maths Paper. Not expected from CBSE that they will play with our career. Totally disheartened. What is the need to prescribe NCERT books i[censored] don't give questions from it. Every student is not equal and everyone cannot afford supplementary books. These things should be kept in mind...
        We always trusted CBSE board so we opted it.. It not only broke our trust but crushed our expectations into pieces and will effect our percentage.. We are not d one to be experimented upon..
        It was unfair CBSE, it was unfair...

          The maths paper which came to Saudi Arabia was beyond comparison with the paper that came in Delhi Zone . The CBSE Examination Controller can always compare that.Hardly 3% questions came from the text book . If we have to follow IIT / JEE syllabus, then why CBSE insists on following NCERT text books? Many of the parents who are working here are of average income who cannot afford the huge NRE fees. These children have to compete with the State Board students who have relatively high score. as their questions are text book based.
          Pls forward this complaint to CBSE Chairman.

              I bring to your kind notice the facts that the Class 12 Maths Exam held on 14th March, 2016 was extremely tough and lengthy. Paper was tricky too.
              There were 3 Questions from NCERT out of 26. The paper was even tougher than last year. Even the one mark questions were Lengthy. “Some of the questions required long calculations. It was extremely difficult to finish them within the time constraints. Most of the students could not attempt it well and are depressed. The pattern of the questions asked in the exam was way different from the normal pattern of the CBSE. It was not possible for the students to finish this paper in the required 3 hours time limit.
              Moreover, the CBSE bypassed its tradition of focusing on the NCERT book and set many of the questions from supplementary books. "We were more prepared for NCERT based questions, but the paper was set from other books, "." Either the CBSE should conduct the exam again or adopt a liberal attitude during the evaluation of answer sheets, "

                As may have been brought to your notice through various news reports and other sources, the Class 12 Maths Exam, held on 14 March 2016 was really lengthy and tough. It was unprecedented. This has happened for second year in a row. Children who have solved various CBSE released Sample papers, and have done exceedingly well in the pre boards and previous year examinations also returned disappointed and discouraged.
                With great zeal and preparation do our children appear for exams and such a mentally torturous exam dents their psyche and demoralises them. This is against the very principle of examinations. Rather than testing their ability this exam was aimed at shocking them. Firstly if they dealt with the sheer challenge of the exam they were confronted with fleeting time. All over the country there is outrage.
                It is our sincere request to your high office to think about the children's future, one bad exam brings the overall aggregate shattering down. We request you to consider appropriate steps to either compensate the students by giving them grace marks or re conducting the exam. After all these Children are India's future.

                    The physics paper was very lengthy. It had questions from irrelevant parts like communications..GPS. and MOBILE TELEPHONY weren't there in the ncert book. The cbse syllabus is supposed to be comprising of the topics included in the ncert book!!! Full marks must be awarded for these two questions. There were no questions from the interesting topics. Please do a lenient correction of the physics paper. I am among the top scorers of my school. I was very disappointed with my physics exam. Please be considerate with the marking!!!

                      I would like to know from CBSE that what answer you have about the following complains about this year Maths paper. What are you people able to prove by providing such a tough question paper? Already most of the syllabus what you are teaching is useless and does not have any use in day-to-day life even in engineering and medical field. By doing this you are damaging the future of the children.. These children have to compete with the ones coming from more liberal state boards in profession courses.
                      I saw students coming out of the examination hall crying.
                      CBSE must understand one thing... exams are conducted to test the knowledge of the common students... not to test the knowledge of scientists and professors.. If CBSE continue with this attitude in future no students will be interested to join CBSE

                        Exams are supposed to test a student's potential and they rightly do so but I fail to understand why this year's Mathematics paper had a very high difficulty level. First and foremost, the CBSE Math syllabus is already known to be a tough one, stuffed with concepts hardly used in even Engineering. On top of this, if the question paper is designed in this manner, it is next to unfairness comparing it to yesteryear's question papers. A paper should be made in such a way that any average student who is at least thorough with the book should be able to pass because not all students can score high. It is a request to the CBSE board authorities that they kindly make the evaluation of the paper liberal and try to understand student's grievance.

                          This year's maths paper barely had any answerable questions. CBSE can't expect us to get above 90 for such a tough paper written under so much pressure. They have to award a minimum of 20 marks for the damage we did on the paper of which they themselves are the root cause.

                            This year also Mathematics exam of CBSE XII was extremely difficult even to comprehend and attend even to a brilliant students. This is the feedback of my daughter and all her classmates and even their School Maths teacher.

                            Why is CBSE hell bound on spoiling the future of our students who have been loyal to them? Are exams conducted to test the teachers or students?
                            Our Children are already at a big disadvantage by following CBSE std since the State Level Students are given high grades while CBSE is hell bound of exams like this which makes admission to Universities very difficult.

                            THIS IS IRRESPONSIBLE and I HUMBLY REQUEST THE MINISTER OF HUMAN RESOURCES TO KINDLY GIVE DIRECTIONS TO CONCERNED IMMEDIATELY TO HAVE A LIBERALISED VALUATION THIS YEAR.

                                The maths question paper was the toughest that we came across . To all the students attempted the paper was lengthy, tough. All the questions were indirect . It was a paper meant only for extra ordinally brilliant students . T o an average and below average students it was heart breaking. Within a day CBSE spoiled our confidance, hardwork and hopes for a better future. I Kindly request CBSE to make the evaluation liberal.

                                  Yesterday's maths paper was a fiasco. I think the last year's paper which was claimed to be tough was far more easier.
                                  Why do you play with our life? Already state syllabus is getting more seats in every universities. We are once again backfired by our backbone itself.

                                  I've heard that the examinations are held to check the capability of a student AND NOT THE EXAMINER'S. I know that the honorable panel of "question makers" are very brilliant. But, they were once a student too. Please think on our shoes.

                                  NCERT Textbooks are goners. Please do train the coming 12thians in such a way that they will be able to pass this "WHO IS THE NEXT EINSTEIN TOURNAMENT?"

                                  Two requests: 1] please correct the paper liberally and give us grace marks too.
                                  2] Fire the "ADEPT" person who set the question paper.

                                    The Mathematics Examination for CBSE 12th Class was over on 14.3.2016. It was surprising that the Examiner has forgot the NCERT syllabus completely. It is felt that the those responsible in the CBSE has as given the book of RD Sharma to the question paper maker. Those who toiled with the NCERT book were not able to answer questions.Does this mean that NCERT textbook is sub-standard.Kindly advice!!!

                                      Why Should the CBSE put so many children to anxiety and depression. It is not about setting a difficult Question paper but the level to which the challenge a student can face is important. A minimum 60% of the the questions need to direct and you could set the 40% to a tougher scale. If the entire paper is tough, tricky and lengthy what will the children do. It is so demoralising for chldren who are already put under tremendrous pressure by parents and school expecting the best and when they are running the last lap, the most important one to build up their career they get a big blow like this, it is really a concern and you Board People should really consider to organise a re-examination or an improvement exam immediately or at least be considerate while it comes to correction of this Lengthy and Tough XII Mathematics paper. Adding Fuel to fire Chennai students lost a lot of time in braving the unprecedented rains for one full month and had to run the race all over again at the fag end of the year. Please Save the children from embarrassment.and this is not an IIT Advanced Examination.

                                      Sincerely
                                      Parent who feels CBSE will hear his voice for sure.

                                        Went to capture a centum and came out with a bad result !
                                        At the first glance, i felt the paper could be solved easily but as i started solving I found it time consuming and it elated my anxiety to finish the paper and made me all the more nervous.
                                        The paper which was set can take beyond 3 hours under normal circumstances. Few indirect questions were expected and it added to our troubles as it was of a higher difficult level.My hopes for centum shattered in the mid way and my hard work gone in vain. I am worried for the above average students as they must be able to score a minimum of 90% but this paper made it difficult even to touch 90% I hope that our concerns will be considered by the corresponding authorities and the correction be lenient.
