In a striking turn of events, a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) has been filed against the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), alleging that it failed to maintain a standard exam difficulty level across multiple sets; filed by educator Prashant Kirad, the PIL seeks a response from India’s national education board, claiming that it discriminated against students through question papers, where the exam’s difficulty level depended on their luck and region.
In the viral clip, educator Prashant Kirad was quoted as saying, “I am making this video especially for CBSE. We’re filing a PIL against the board to seek a response against the unfair practice of setting question papers. At first, it happened with Class 10 board exams, where some sets were easier, while others required JEE Main and Advanced-level knowledge. Now, the same thing has happened with the Class 12 Physics paper, which is very unfair for students who have been studying day and night but still end up getting a tough question paper, while others have it easier without much effort.”

He further questioned the need to create so many sets without actually examining their difficulty level. According to him, the board has been setting multiple sets for years now, but no one has ever witnessed such a stark contrast in the difficulty level of multiple sets of a single exam. “I want CBSE to release an official statement announcing grace marks for students who had to attempt the difficult set or direct teachers to do lenient marking,” he added.
The comment section of Prashant's video is filled with support from students who echo the same emotion. They are supporting the educator's move and urging the authorities to not repeat this practice ever again.
Both students and parents are demanding grace marks and leniency in checking copies of difficult sets. Some are even demanding a re-examination from the authorities.
Earlier, a similar incident was reported with class 10 students where some sets were reportedly easier, while others demanded higher-order knowledge, sparking a debate online. Screenshots of easier question papers circulated online, narrating only one side of the story, while others kept asserting that their set was much more difficult.
