New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) conducted the Class 10 Hindu exam today, March 2. The examination was conducted between 10:30 am and 1:30 pm across various exam centers in India.
Faculties and students have shared their feedback on the exam. According to Maya Lohani, Head of the Hindu Department at Delhi’s Army public school, the paper was of moderate level, and the questions were mostly direct and syllabus-based, but required clear understanding and good expression skills.
The paper maintained a balanced focus on Literature, Grammar, and Writing Skills, and was well aligned with the CBSE blueprint and strictly within the prescribed syllabus, the HOD added.
