The Central Board of Secondary Education has directed the exam centre superintendents and school heads to ensure that the Class 10 and Class 12 question papers are printed only in one language, either Hindi or English.

The Board has announced that there is no need to print question papers in both languages for each student.

The Board added that only one language needs to be prioritised i.e. either English or Hindi, according to the requirement of the students of a particular school or exam centre.

The CBSE's official statement states, "It has come to the notice that some of the examination centres are printing both English and Hindi versions of question papers and thereafter these are being distributed to the students. This is not as per the directions supplied by the CBSE".

The Board has directed that the question papers need to be printed first in English version only and distributed among the students. The printing of the Hindi version of the question paper is to be done only in case any candidate needs the Hindi version question paper, added the Board. The same needs to be followed for instructions as well.
