New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education will conduct a re-test of Class 12 economics paper on Wednesday, nearly a month after it was leaked triggering widespread outrage among students. After reports of the leak surfaced on March 28, the CBSE announced it will re-conduct the examination on April 25. Then, there were also reports of the CBSE's Class 10 mathematics paper being leaked, but the board decided against a re-test of the Class 10 paper. “The candidates will appear (for the exam) from the same allotted centres using the same admit card,” a board official said on Tuesday. For conducting the re-test, the board had said “Class 12 exams are a gateway to higher education and various professional competitive exams which have limited seats... Therefore, giving undue advantage to a handful of beneficiaries of the alleged leak of the economics paper would not be in larger interest of the students.” PTI
