TIL Desk/National/New Delhi/ In a major relief for thousands of students, the Centre on Tuesday said that no re-test for the Central Board of Secondary Examination (CBSE) Class 10th Maths paper will be conducted in the wake of a controversy over the leak of Maths and Economics papers recently. ”This was being done in the paramount interest of students,” said Anil Swarup, Education Secretary, Government of India.

”Consequent to the preliminary evaluation of the impact of reportedly leaked CBSE Class 10 Maths paper and keeping in mind the paramount interest of students, CBSE has decided not to conduct re-examination even in the states of Delhi NCR and Haryana.

Hence, no re-exam for class 10,” Anil Swarup was quoted.
