Delhi High Court Seeks Responses on Petition to Allow Calculators in Class 12 Exams
The Delhi High Court has asked the CBSE, NCERT, and the Union government to respond within six weeks to a petition seeking permission for Class 12 students to use basic, non-programmable calculators in board exams. The plea, filed by Vishal Dua on behalf of parents, highlights that manual calculations in Accountancy and Mathematics consume significant exam time, limiting students' ability to demonstrate conceptual understanding. The petition notes that CBSE's Curriculum Committee approved calculator use for Accountancy in November 2024, but the recommendation has not yet been implemented.
