The CBSE paper leak has come as a rude shock to many class-10 students like R Shreya who fears that she might have to go through the ordeal of preparing for the maths exam all over again which will involve spending money on tuition and fighting a "phobia" for the subject.

Shreya wonders why should she be made to write the maths paper again as the examination "should be conducted only where it (the question paper) has been leaked), not in every place."
"I feel that the coming paper (re-test) will be tougher than the paper I wrote previously... I felt really happy and relaxed (then) as it was very easy," she said, adding, "My entrance exam for another school has also been affected. I have an exam on April 3."
Another parent said, "It is really unfair since the paper leak was in Delhi... It is disappointing. We are unable to progress on our other domestic or academic activities since if a retest has been planned then we have to prepare for it."
