Bhubaneswar: The Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE) on Tuesday came out with a clarification on the allegations of out-of-syllabus questions in the Plus Two Physics examination held last Friday.
At a press meet, CHSE examination controller Ashok Nayak said that no question came out of the syllabus. But, there was a choice deficit in some questions.
“The Physics question paper was prepared based on the syllabus of regular and ex-regular students. There was no issue in the questions for ex-regular students. But, there are some choice deficits in cases of regular students,” Nayak said.
Three choice deficits were reported in the Question no-3 which is of 2 marks each. Similarly, one choice deficit was seen in Question- 4 while some others were in Group-C section of seven marks each, he added.
“Our expert committee will soon meet and discuss the matter. The panel usually suggests the grace mark for the students. This time, we will also follow the recommendations of the committee regarding grace mark for the choice deficit,” he informed.
“We observed choice deficit of a total 19 marks. Students who have attempted are entitled to get grace marks,” the CHSE official said.
As many as 95 percent of students have done well. Those who have faced problems in the choice deficits will be taken care of. They should not get worried and continue their preparation for the rest of the papers, Nayak advised.
Some students on Saturday alleged they had out-of-syllabus questions of over 20 marks in the Physics subject.
Candidates came across some questions that were out of the syllabus on Friday while attending the exam conducted by the Council of Higher Secondary Education (CHSE). The full mark of the Physics is 70.
