What's the story

The CBSE conducted a retest for Class 12 Economics today; the original exam on March 26 had been cancelled due to a paper leak.

This finally brings to an end the board exams for Class 12 students.

For many, today's paper brought good news, as they found it easier than the last.

However, others said the numerical section was lengthy this time.

Positive

Some found it easier, scoring, shorter and direct

Nikhil Vasishth (Lucknow) said everyone who practised regularly would have been able to solve the paper.

Ashi Kala (Jaipur) found the paper "pretty straightforward" and easier than the last.

"The questions in the re-exam were comparatively less lengthy," said Mansi Agarwal (Patna).

For Kumud Garg (Bhopal), today was "quite easy and scoring." ""The pattern of question paper was same as it was earlier."

Data

6L students across India took the retest

About 600,000 students took the retest today at 4,000 centres across India. Foreign students were exempted as the leak didn't impact their results, the board said. Security measures were beefed up to ensure the CBSE doesn't have to face embarrassment again.
