Delhi High Court Seeks Responses on Calculator Use in Class 12 Board Exams
The Delhi High Court has sought responses from CBSE, NCERT, and the Union government on a petition requesting permission for Class 12 students to use basic, non-programmable calculators in Accountancy exams and to form an expert committee to consider their use in Mathematics exams. The petition, filed by Vishal Dua and other parents, argues that manual calculations consume significant exam time, limiting students' ability to demonstrate conceptual understanding. The CBSE Curriculum Committee had approved calculator use in Accountancy in November 2024, but the proposal remains unimplemented.
