The second day of the Madhyamik examination ended with students complaining of cryptic language being used in Bengali Paper-II and a tough grammar section.
Question-7, which was on verbs appeared confusing to most students. “They should have mentioned what they actually wanted the students to do. Though the board has asked us to follow academy spelling, they have not done so in the question paper. On top of that many students complained of cryptic language being used in the questions. Though no question was out-of-syllabus, mediocre students will not find it easy,” said Abhijan Bandyopadhyay, Bengali teacher of Patha Bhavan School.
But according to board officials, students were happy with the questions. “We have not received any sort of complaint from the students. On the contrary, they told me that they would be scoring very well,” said Ujjal Basu, president of West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE).
Basu visited six schools on Thursday and also met two sick candidates Sangita Bhowmik of Khanpur Girls High School and Manali Majumdar of Kantchrapara Railway High School. Both of them are taking their exams at ESI Hospital Maniktala. “Both of them though seriously unwell said that their exam was going well,” Basu informed.
Three students from various schools in Kolkata on Thursday went on to take their exam with chicken pox. They were provided separate rooms. Another student of Chandrakona Road S M High School, Jagonnath Dhura who does not have his hands was writing his exam with his legs. The board has agreed to provide him with a writer.
