Pass marks for Maharashtra SSC Board used to be 35%. This year they were brought down to 29%.
In maths paper questions of 30 marks were out of syllabus and all students were given grace marks and passed in maths.
It seems people responsible for decreasing the pass marks percentage to 29% and put out of syllabus questions of 30 marks in maths paper were part of conspiracy to pass all students in maths. This was unfair to the students who studied hard. Many people who had done well in other subjects and would have done well in maths could not get seats. One girl committed suicide.
People in responsible positions should not dilute standards and play with the lives and futures of students. People responsible for the blunder in maths paper should be punished.
