**New Delhi, February 15** – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 English examination concluded today, with students and educators largely describing the paper as easy to moderately challenging. The exam, deemed well-structured and balanced by most, covered topics aligned with the syllabus and sample papers provided by the board.

While some teachers noted the exam’s length, students generally reported completing the paper within the allotted time. The grammar section was widely considered straightforward, with only a few minor exceptions. The reading comprehension passages were described as manageable, though some students found a couple of questions to be more challenging than others, requiring deeper analysis. Similarly, while the writing section was considered generally easy, some questions in the literature section demanded more critical thinking.

“The paper had lucid language,” stated Mahima Dudeja, an English educator at JAIN International Residential School, Bengaluru. Other educators echoed similar sentiments, highlighting the paper’s alignment with sample papers and the direct nature of many questions. Students across various schools also expressed confidence in their performance.

However, some discrepancies emerged in feedback. While most found the paper manageable, a few teachers noted minor errors, ambiguous questions, and repetition in certain sections. One educator rated the paper a 7/10, suggesting improvements for clarity and accuracy. Despite these minor criticisms, the consensus remained that the paper fairly assessed students’ knowledge and skills. The paper was described as testing comprehension, critical thinking and application skills with a good mix of higher-order thinking and recall questions.

The CBSE has not yet commented on the feedback received. The results of the examination are eagerly awaited by students. This unrelated incident about the arrest of five Class 12 students for assaulting a junior in Kannur, Kerala, is not connected to the CBSE exams.
