New OMR pattern baffles CBSE students
The Hindu
It will be used for Class X and Class XII exams beginning next week
Delay in taking decisions by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) seems to be taking a toll on the mental health of students appearing for the exams of Class X and Class XII.
The latest is the newly released sample Optical Mark Recognition (OMR) sheet for Class X and Class XII Term-I examinations beginning next week. “I am totally confused with the new instructions of darkening the circles but again compulsorily writing the chosen response in another box. Also, we have to darken another circle if we want to skip a question,” M. Mariyam of Class X says.
If the box is empty and the response is marked in the circle, it will be considered that the question has not been attempted. However, if the response is given in the box and the circle is left blank, it will be considered that the question has been attempted.
