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
