Students relieved as accounts paper sticks to textbook

Nagpur: One of the most dreaded subjects in Commerce stream, book-keeping and accountancy’s examination on Monday was only moderately difficult, bringing relief to students.

The HSC board exam was conducted with requisite Covid precautions and students were seen leaving with happy faces, while some were not as satisfied with their performance.

Talking to TOI, students of MKH Sancheti Public School and Junior College said textbook reading and thorough practice was enough to ace the accounts exam.

Today’s paper was based entirely on the textbook and therefore, thorough practice and revision of the textbook is a must.”
