Counsellors were overwhelmed by the number of calls they have received of worried students and parents complaining that the paper was extremely tough.
The paper was on February 25, and from 2 pm the helpline received more than 100 calls. On Wednesday, the number was uncountable. Most of the callers enquired whether there would be a combined marking system for theory and practical, or whether the board will grant them grace marks.
Studentspeak Some students, however, felt that the paper was only slightly challenging. Kunal Jadega, a student from Mulund&rsquo;s Friends Co-Operative Education Society School said, &ldquo;The Multiple Choice Questions were, partly, not from the textbook, theory otherwise was fine. Overall the paper was tough but I was able to manage things.&rdquo;
