CBSE to compensate Class X students for typo error in English paper
Central Board of Secondary Education has decided to provide compensation of two marks to Class X students for a typing error in the English question paper.Teachers and students had approached CBSE with the plea that the paper held on March 12 had certain errors in the comprehension passage section.
Students had to read a comprehensive passage and write synonyms for the words endurance, obstruction, and motivation. But the paragraphs they were supposed to look at were incorrectly marked."The typing error has been noticed and it has been Board's policy to not let students face any disadvantage. The marking scheme has been decided in interest of students and all those who appeared for the particular question will be awarded two marks," a senior official said.
