Today was the Science theory exams for CBSE class X students, and in its infinite wisdom, MES sent out a circular saying the exam starts at 8am and ends at 11am (for a total duration of 3 hours). All exams so far had a 3 hours duration, so the students believed that this was also a 3 hour exam, as confirmed by the circular. The exam duration was only 2hours 30 minutes in reality, and even the students who previously knew that it was so based on earlier information fell for the wrong information in the circular. Many students expressed their joy at getting one hour each to answer Physics, Chemistry and Biology, but they had the shock of their life when the answer papers were snatched out of their hands at the end of two and half hours. On top of that, the first two parts (Physics and Chemistry) was generally tough, so most students had taken more time to answer those, and when they arrived at the relatively easier 3rd part (biology), their time was up !
A lot of tears have been shed at the school today, and the incompetent administration is now blaming parents for "not knowing better" or "not doing their own investigation" into examination timing. WTH ?
We hope someone there shows basic human decency by at least acknowledging the mistake, and take stern action on the erring parties, however higher in the hierarchy they may be !
Well... the school has done it again
