Delhi High Court Seeks Responses on Calculator Use in Class 12 Board Exams for Students with Disabilities
The Delhi High Court has sought responses from CBSE, NCERT, the Centre, and PARAKH on a plea to allow Class 12 students, especially those with disabilities beyond Dyscalculia, to use basic calculators in mathematics and accountancy board exams. The petition, filed by Vishal Dua and other parents, highlights that CBSE's curriculum committee approved calculator use in accountancy in November 2024, but the recommendation remains unimplemented. The plea argues that manual calculations consume significant exam time, limiting students' ability to demonstrate conceptual understanding.
