As per CBSE passing criteria, students should obtain a minimum of 33% in each subject to pass the class 10th exam.

"One has to read the NCERT book thoroughly and I would say the questions are less from sample papers etc. But this is the first time that CBSE is conducting such an exam.  I believe from the next batch onward that is those who will be appearing next year onward will not have much of a problem because by then there will be sample question papers based on the present format," said Ayush

Q35 set 4.. the answer should be b. In no way can R be the explanation of A. It's just another statement that negates majoritarian ideology. The board should look into it.#CBSE #BoardExams @cbseindia29 pic.twitter.com/gfsmNLVLBt

The Somaiya School Principal Parveen Shaikh said, "The CBSE has created a very user friendly system for conducting the exams for grades 10and 12. They have trained the heads for the same and it is happening very seamlessly. All the queries are getting resolved quickly and there is ample support from the CBSE city coordinator. I personally feel, this should be the norm for future as well. The social science paper had a good mix of questions catering to all kinds of students. Students are happy with the offline examination.  They are comfortable with having the examination in school. After this paper, students are confident for the remaining papers.
