CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh has responded to complaints over the Class 10 Maths exam held on Feb 17, 2026, saying questions were not out of syllabus. He said the perceived difficulty is due to a shift towards competency-based evaluation.
New Delhi: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reacted to the apprehensions expressed by the Class 10 students regarding the difficulty level of this year’s Mathematics board paper held on February 17, 2026.
CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh stated that “the allegations of questions being ‘out of syllabus’ need to be seen in the context of changing patterns of exams.”
The problem was first brought up online as students were discussing a case study-based type of question related to parabolas. Some expressed their concern that certain aspects of the questions were confusing or mathematically inconsistent with other concepts not included in the study guides.
In one online post, the student expressed confusion about obtaining coordinates using conventional techniques and expressed concern about concepts such as the vertex formula or arc length, which were not explicitly prescribed.
