Class 10 CBSE students will get 2 marks for typo in English paper

On Friday, Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced that the students of Class 10th will be granted 2 extra marks for a typing error in English Question Paper. Several teachers and students appealed the Board for the compensation regarding the error in the English Exam. So they filed an online petition regarding this issue.

The exam of English was held on March 12, 2018. There was a typo or printing mistake in the third question of Passage 2 of Section A. The students had to read the passage first and had to write the synonyms of the words endurance, obstruction, and motivation. But in the online petition, they said that the paragraphs were incorrectly marked from which they had to write the answer. So the students and the teachers requested the board to do something about this subject.

After this approach, the board caught the same typing error in the questions paper and assured the students to rectify this mistake. CBSE took the decision in the favor of the students and announced that those who had attended English exam and attempted the particular question will be awarded 2 marks extra as the compensation.
