CBSE Class 12 Economics re-exam tomorrow: No new admit card to be issued, says CBSE

Three men were arrested from Delhi in connection with the Economics paper leak, and 12 from Jharkhand for laeking the class 10 Mathematics paper. Tauqeer (26), a private tuition teacher and Rishab Singh (29) and Rohit (26) — who teach Physics and Chemistry at Mother Khazani Convent school in Bawana — were arrested for leaking the Class 12 Economics paper, said police.

According to police, the investigations revealed that two minor students hailing from Gaya and Chhapra had received the maths paper on their WhatsApp chat on March 27 night, a day before the examination. Satish Pandey and his associate Pankaj Singh, who run the Study Vision Coaching Centre in Chatra received the message. The team who is conducting the probe believed that a Class 11 student also played an important role in the leak.

Though the class 10 Mathematics paper was leaked, but CBSE had decided not to conduct the re-examination as the internal inputs and the board’s investigation indicated that the paper leak benefited only a very few persons.

In Punjab, the CBSE will also conduct the Class 10 and 12 re-examinations, which were cancelled due to Bharat bandh, on April 27 in Punjab.
