“The Physics paper was the toughest among all the regions in the southern zone, the Chennai and the Kerala Management Association will send a letter after a proper review of question papers from students and teachers. The letter will be sent to CBSE chairperson soon demanding a lenient checking of question papers,” Ibrahim Khan, president, Kerala CBSE school’s Management Association told indianexpress.com.

Gulfam Ahmed, Head of the Physics Department, Vidyagyan Leadership Academy, UP, said, “The Physics paper was not for the average students. Every question asked for an explanation, and you cannot just answer the question simply.”

“The question numbers 6, 11, 15, 18 and 22 were very lengthy as the students have to answer the questions with examples,” he said.

The students also took to social media demanding lenient checking. A campaign has been started through change.org for the same.

“Respected @PrakashJavdekar @cbseindia29 @HRDMinistry please re-conduct the physics examination , it’s your duty to take action but you are not responding,” tweeted Mahima, a Class 12 student.



“#cbsephysics.. please re conduct the paper of physics..if CBSE can’t conduct the paper again then plz don’t divide the mark’s chapterwise next time…coz CBSE has lost the ability to properly distribute marks in question paper!!!,” Mahira Hasan Karim, another student, tweeted.



“Two similar ques in set 2 of Delhi paper. This shows that the sets were not at all balanced, set 1 was tougher than set 2 which was tougher than set 3. How can one possibly compare the results of the students?,” tweeted another student.
