Odisha BSE Matric examination: Error found in Science question paper

A discrepancy has been reported in the Science set-C question paper of the ongoing Matriculation examination, conducted by the Board of Secondary Education (BSE), where students have alleged that they received four marks less than the designated total. 

The issue was flagged by students and teachers, prompting an immediate review by the BSE, Odisha.

Confirming the error, the Board president acknowledged the mistake and assured that necessary corrective measures would be taken. 

Error in Science Paper: What Students Say

“A question carrying four marks was missing in the Science Sec-C question paper. There are two sections in the question paper- subjective and objective, carrying 50 marks each. The question was missing in the subjective section,” said Saraswati Khila, a student from Jeypore.
