Maharashtra State Board messes Algebra and Geometry test

March 23, 2007 in Marathi, Mumbai, Personal, WorldNews, india

Maharashtra State Board had asked question in test which are not in syllabus. I was talking to my sister and she was explaining this to me other day, as her son, my nephew, is appearing for SSC examination and apparently he got this B question paper. Poor guy

was panic after exam as he could only attempted 60 marks of question paper out of 75. One can understand that since the pressure of SSC examination is surreal and competition is so much. This is the turning point for one and that is the sad part. Exams will decide which college you go to and what field you choose.

And now that “The Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education has decided to give 30 marks to all students in the subject, irrespective of which set (A, B, C or D) they were given.”.

And for obvious reason some people are happy and others are not.

But the main question or point here I have is what is done to those guys who are responsible for this test question? Why are they not hold accountable for this? Just giving 30 points is not the solution it might make the students and their parents happy but who is responsible for this?
