Meanwhile, the students are worried as the results of Term 1 will impact the final board exam results for class 10 students.
A teacher alleged that over a dozen of questions were out of the syllabus. The question paper had a total of 42 questions. The teacher alleged that some of the questions were not based on the pattern of Class 10.
Also, it has been alleged that there were some errors and incorrect options in several questions. The students were disappointed as their scores are bound to suffer from so many questions of a higher difficulty level.
Reportedly, the Spanish teacher fraternity, in a communication to the CBSE, has pointed to "improper" vetting and proofreading of the question paper.
