CBSE Class 12 Accountancy 2021: As per the recent updates, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has denied that up to 6 grace marks will be awarded for the Class 12 Accountancy paper. The exam was held on Monday, 13th December 2021. CBSE in a notification dated 14th December confirmed that the audio is not from the Controller of Examinations Dr Sanyam Bhardwaj and the board has not made any such announcement.
Viral Audio Regarding Grace Markings
An audio message, ostensibly from CBSE’s exam controller Sanyam Bhardwaj, is being circulated on social media in which the speaker says "Don't worry students, if you attempt 28 to 31 questions correctly, you will score around 38 marks. CBSE will award grace marks upto six to the students."
Audio Circulated on Social Media
In the viral audio, the speaker is heard saying that the Class 12 Accountancy paper pattern was changed at last minute, which came as a “shock” to the students. "In CBSE sample papers, you are asked to attempt 45 out of 55 questions, while in the exam paper it is 40 out of 48 questions, it seems shocking to the students. Along with that, the instructions were not proper in the paper," it says.
Further, the speaker says, “The answer of question number 10 in the answer key is 100 per cent wrong, question number 47 is controversial.”
“You will get at least 5 or 6 [grace] marks.”
Other Controversies in CBSE Term 1 Board Exam
Earlier, on Monday, the board announced a passage in the Class 10 English question paper that was not in accordance with guidelines and it will be removed. Students will get full marks for the accompanying questions, the board said.
CBSE’s announcement came amid allegations that the passage is regressive, and promotes gender stereotyping. The board made the announcement a few hours after Congress President Sonia Gandhi raised the issue in Parliament.
