“20 marks out of syllabus in today’s 10th standard @cbseindia29 #Kannada exam. It’s time the questions are standardized & verified. Also, one set of #maths was also much longer compared to others. Such mistakes cause undue stress to children. Please intervene sir @PrakashJavdekar,” tweeted Professor Giridhara R Babu.
