Sitibarna Tripathy and Aanannya Dash with 99.4% were the school toppers. Sitibarna Tripathy’s father Shashank Shekhar Tripathy said he was happy with her daughter’s marks but he would have happier had she given offline exams. Sitibarna said she wants to pursue medical as her career.
Mona Lisa Bal, Chairperson, KiiT International School, said the Board took the best possible decision in the circumstances we are in. Cancelling the Board exams for 10th standard and evaluating students based on their entire academic session was a sensible approach. Moreover, we are seeing high scores and a significant rise in pass percentage this year. Online mode of teaching enhanced the focus of the students.
Due to the second wave of the Covid-19 pandemic and the lockdown in different states of the country, the Class 10 and 12 examinations were cancelled this year. Instead, the CBSE prepared the 2021 results of Class 10 and 12 students on the basis of internal assessment.
Ex-regular questions at offline HSC exams
Cuttack: Twenty regular candidates appearing for the 10th Board offline exams were handed over ex-regular question papers of 2014. The incident was reported from Board High School where the offline exam for Science was being held. The incident triggered indignation among the examinees who alleged irregularity in conducting the offline exams. However, soon after the goof-up was brought to the notice of the invigilators, the correct question papers (of this year) were distributed. The Board of Secondary Education (BSE) officials present at the centre said the error was rectified and students did not face any inconvenience to write the papers.
