There should be a wider gap between two Board papers, particularly between physics and chemistry and mathematics. The state should provide students with a bank of important questions. If practical and oral evaluation is not possible before the written exam, it should be held later without collecting any extra fee from the students. 

These are among a host of suggestions put up by parents and teachers’ bodies when they met school education minister Varsha Gaikwad on Thursday. She assured them that the Maharashtra State board would consider the suggestions while creating SOPs for the SSC and HSC exams.
