Supreme Court refuses to interfere CBSE’s decision to hold re-examination for class 12 economics paper after the question paper was leaked. It also turns down the plea for CBI inquiry and dismisses a batch of the petition filed by students and parents, as Times of India reported.

The CBSE earlier declared that the Class 12 Economics exam would be conducted again, on April 25. It also decided against holding a re-exam for the Class 10 math paper but yesterday it decided to not hold a re-examination for the Class 10 mathematics course even though the question paper for the earlier test was allegedly leaked. Its decision came after a comprehensive analysis and evaluation of the answer sheets showed no specific trend that the leak had impacted the exam upshots, CBSE said.

Worth mention here three people, including two teachers of a private school, were detained by the Delhi Police on Sunday for their suspected roles in leakage of the Class 12 economics paper.

Following the leaks of economics and math question papers, the CBSE announced that the examination centres would from this time receive an encrypted copy of the question papers on e-mail and all the exam centres would need to download and print themselves.
