UP board exams: Hindi-medium students get papers in English

Ill-preparedness of the Uttar Pradesh Madhyamik Shikshak Parishad is giving tough time to the students. 

Most of the examinees of Hindi medium were given question papers printed in English and vice versa due to lack of availability of the same at various centres. 

In various incidents, the Board examinees had a tough time in writing their particular papers as the language was not properly understood by them. 

It was learnt that over 50 students of Har Gopal Inter College of Hindi medium got question paper in English, while several students of Hindi medium DMK Inter College were also given question paper in English for their math exam. They were just 10 minutes' extra time to compensate for the inconvenience. 

Similarly more than 30 students of Fair Committee School, who were from English medium, were given the question papers in Hindi language. 

"The students were at the receiving end of the most irresponsible behaviour of the UP Board authorities. Though they somehow solved the whole question paper, it was a difficult task for them to understand a language they were not well-versed in. Hence, we are apprehensive of their result," said the principal of a reputed school on condition of anonymity. 

Meanwhile, DIOS SS Singh, when asked about the whole issue, held the school authorities responsible for the matter. "The papers were given by the Board according to the medium filled by the school authorities in the examination form. In no way are we responsible for the inconvenience to the students," he claimed. 

"This problem of the medium of question papers has become a routine affair now as no one among the Board authorities or the school authorities are ready to take the responsibility," the DIOS pointed out.
