The CBSE Term 1 board exam was reportedly affected by malpractice. The CBSE School Management Association (CSMA) has alleged that many schools shared question papers with students ahead of the examination.

“Such malpractices in CBSE 10th, 12th exams have resulted in high marks to ineligible students and affected the really well-performing students and disciplined schools, leaving them disheartened and disappointed,” the letter said. Huh.”
The MCQs and OMR sheets were introduced in July after the board bifurcated the Class 10 and Class 12 exams for the academic year 2020-21, leaving little time for both teachers and students to get acquainted with it. The letter alleged that this resulted in students relying on CBSE sample papers for practice. The board was also criticized for making changes in the guidelines and exam pattern in the 11th hour.

Most of the malpractices happened because, due to COVID-19 related restrictions, students appeared for their boards in their respective schools. The CSMA said that this allocation of centers itself created ‘major issues’.
The letter further alleged that the Term 1 question papers were downloaded between 9:45 am and 10 am, about an hour before the commencement of the examination. Apart from being leaked through WhatsApp and LAN, hard copies were also being provided to the students. The students were asked to wait in the private hall where they were told about the entire answer.
An allegation by CSMA was that if students were unsure of an answer, they were instructed to write ‘C’ in the answer box, which was then completed in ‘A’, ‘B’ or ‘D’ Which will depend on the right one. The answer was This was an easy task as a lowercase ‘C’ could be changed to the other three letters.
The association pointed out that even though the board came to know about this malpractice later and changed the format to capital letters, it was too late as several important examinations had already been conducted. Even after the change in format, students were asked to leave the answer box blank if they were unsure, and would later be filled in by the invigilator.
In view of all the malpractices and lapses, CSMA sought cancellation of class 1 examination and invalidation of marks obtained by class 10 and 12 students.
