`Not a very scoring question paper'

NEW DELHI: Students who appeared in the Class XII Physics examination conducted by the Central Board of Secondary Education in the Capital on Saturday complained about an `error' in the question paper and also lack of revision time.

"There was too much emphasis on theory and it was lengthy. Also, we had no time for revision and that left most of the students very tense. Overall it wasn't a very scoring question paper this year," said Betsie Joseph of Mater Dei School about the Physics paper

Stating that more time should be given for revision, Vice-Principal of Apeejay School at Pitampura Sudha Ravi said: "Students were stressed and under pressure due to the two consecutive papers of Biotechnology and Physics. Though most students had come well prepared, they were tensed about not being able to complete their revision on time. We were receiving constant calls from students and parents expressing their concern over the matter."

As for complains by students about an `error' in the question paper, Physics teacher at Apeejay School in Pitampura Kiran J. Nayak said: "There were two errors in Set 3 of the question paper i.e. the diagram of diode was not drawn correctly and part `C' of question no. 7 was incomplete. The students found the paper a bit lengthy, otherwise the paper overall was good."
