i just saw in the sun news channel tht arnd 30,000 10th board papers were brunt due to a fire accident in vellore in a school......papers from all places like chennai,kancheepuram are being corrected there and 30k destroyed due to the fire and many more damaged by using water to put the fire off.......it wud have been a thunderbolt for the 10th as soon as they heard as they might fear tht they have to repeat the exam again !!!!!for now the govt says they need not...but we shud yet wait n see the drama...
Ten years back twelth board papers were found on the rail track in a damaged condition near Karalkudi. ; But no reexamination was conducted. I think all of them were given substantial marks so that there was no hue and cry.
