Several students have claimed on Twitter that there were several errors in the CBSE Class 10 Oriya question paper and no favors were given for it. Several students also claimed that there were 12 incorrect answers in the Class 10 Oriya question paper.

One student wrote on Twitter, “… 12 answers in the Oriya question paper were incorrect. The answer has not been corrected. So it is showing a huge disregard for Oriya language, which is a big loss for students who choose Oriya as their second language. So I request you to reconsider and verify the matter. Please support the students to get justice. “

Another student further wrote, “Please support the students to get justice. All CBSE students in India have got justice in English and we want justice for our Oriya! Pay attention to our concerns. Thanks. “

“@ Cbseindia29 @dpradhanbjp @EduMinOfIndia There seems to be an error in the assessment of CBSE Term 1 Class X Odia subject, due to which second language Odia students are given very low marks. Most of them got full marks in other subjects. Please correct the signs, “said a Twitter user, tagging Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan and CBSE.
