A notice by the CBSE board on Wednesday, 28 March, sent the class 10 maths students and class 12 economics students into a tizzy. It bore the dreaded words – re-conduct of examinations!

Fun Fact: A total of 11.86 lakh students have taken the class 12 board exams this year, while 16.38 lakh class 10 students sat for the exams.

Angry and agitated students took to Twitter, demanding answers from Union HRD Minister Prakash Javadekar.

"Why should we suffer?” they echoed.

‘Unacceptable and Unfair’

Students blamed the CBSE for its failure – and opposed the idea of re-examinations.

Families Angry, Too

But it wasn’t just the students who were angry.
