What’s actually in the audio?
The audio claimed that CBSE had changed the exam pattern at the last moment, which is a shock for students. It also said if the students had attempted 28 to 31 questions correctly, they would score around 38 marks.
Earlier the board had decided to drop a comprehension passage from term 1 English examination, after allegations that it was regressive, and promoted gender stereotyping after which it was decided by the board to award full marks to all students, for the accompanying questions of a comprehension passage which was dropped.
