CBSE XII English Paper: 6 Marks question was out of syllabus



Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has conducted class XII English paper on 2 March, 2019. English paper was average but students have complaint that a question of 6 marks asked in a set of paper was out of syllabus. In class XII CBSE has advised schools to prescribe any one of the two novels 'Invisible Man' by H.G. Wells and 'Silas Marner' by George Eliot. In question paper students are given internal choices to attempt any one question from both of the novels. But in class XII English paper conducted on 2 March, 2019, question number 11 and question number 12 carrying 6 marks each were from two different novels 'Invisible Man' and 'Silas Marner' and all the internal choices from both of the questions were from same novel. All the schools have prescribed any one novel and students were taught accordingly. In the case this is unfair to ask questions from both of the novels without having choices from both of them. Central Board of Secondary Education ( CBSE) has admitted the fault and assured to take the issue with concerned committee before finalising marking scheme. According to board no student would be in disadvantage.
