Website: www.cbse.nic.in

The cbse computer science aissce 2018 was held on 23rd march 2018, commencing at 10:30 a. M. I am souritra garai, board roll number-6634748, and had appeared in this test from "outside delhi".
I had received question paper code number 91 and set-4.
To my knowledge, it contained some crucial errors as follows -

1. Syntactical error in question no. 1 (E) of section a.
A variable 'i' was used in the code where 'i' was not defined anywhere.

2. Logical error in question no. 2 (C) of section a
The question asked the student to create a function to calculate the volume of cylinder and cone. But the formulas to calculate the volume and even the corresponding 3d shapes were wrong.

3. Logical error in question no. 3 (D) of section a
The question asked the student to create a function named "addpacket" to delete a packet.

No corrections were made by any authority in my centre (Centre code-6245).

The syntactical error can be considered as a printing mistake.
But the logical errors imposes an important question. What is the purpose of the examination? Was the examination a test to check if a student is able to blindly follow what he/she has been ordered to? Or is the examination a test to check if the student is able to understand and appreciate the unity of diverse subjects like maths, computers etc. That is expected of a mature person?

Such errors in the question at the time when a student's years of hard work is at stake creates nervousness among the students. Thus they become vulnerable to further erroneous actions.

I would request the concerned authority to acknowledge their mistake. It is a very difficult task to compensate for the mistake, but at least something must be done so that the mistake of the questioning authority is reflected in the report card of the student. So that in the future every student stands a fair chance in evaluations based on report cards.
