The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education has announced a major change in its examination system, terming it a Diwali gift for students.
Chairman of the education board Dr Rajesh Sharma said that the board will now provide the same set of questions to all students in the board examinations, but the order of questions will differ in each of the three series. Earlier, each series contained different questions, which led to complaints about variation in difficulty levels.
Dr Sharma said the new system would ensure fairness and equal opportunity for all students. He added that the change would make the examination process more transparent and uniform.
The reordering of questions will also help prevent cheating during exams as students will not be able to share answers based on question
