The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has been riddled with controversy this year. CBSE paper leaks rocked the nation and several arrests have been made in that connection. And while both class 10 and 12 were affected by it due to which the Board had decided to conduct Class 10 Maths paper and Class 12 Economics paper again, the decision has been modified.
Anil Swarup, Education Secretary, tweeted, “Consequent to the preliminary evaluation of the impact of reportedly leaked CBSE class 10 maths paper & keeping in mind the paramount interest of students, CBSE has decided not to conduct re-examination even in the states of Delhi NCR and Haryana. Hence, no re-exam for class 10.”

The news has made Class 10 students ecstatic, but left Class 12 students fuming. And much like always, students are expressing their happiness and sadness on social media platforms. How, you ask? Well, through jokes and memes, of course. However, some protesting against the decision also wrote, “Sir one is happy for the Class 10 students of CBSE. Why do you not show similar compassion and caring for the Class 12 students why make lacs of students and their parents suffer.”
