The private school boards have written a letter to CBSE Chairperson Vineet Joshi, National Progressive Schools' Conference (NPSC) submitting their request. They have suggested that CBSE should reduce the Term 1 exam weightage by 20 to 30% and should increase the Term 2 exam weightage by 70 to 80%. Now, it is important to understand why private schools have taken this step. In response to this, the private schools have urged that they have used "unfair means and malpractices" while marking the papers during Term 1 exams. The letter has been sent by the schools to CBSE after the declaration of CBSE Term 1 results.
