The biggest petition to ‘Give grace marks in CBSE Maths exam 2016 for Class XII’ with 16,728 supporters, was started by a student from Guwahati. This number (of supporters) is increasing every minute.
A petition captioned “Why us?” on Change.org stated, “The paper was extremely lengthy and tough compared to the last 10 years. Since NCERT is the prescribed book for Board exams, we expect the questions to revolve around the concepts of this book. But this year, the paper was not in context to the NCERT. There were questions that the NCERT book does not have.”
