The State Council for Educational Research and Training (SCERT) released the much awaited question bank for the Maharashtra state board examinations on its website on Monday. But SCERT has been subjected to major criticism over it, as many are complaining that it has added to their confusion. According to students, from both SSC and HSC, the bank includes questions on topics which are omitted from the syllabus, while some have also complained that it seems to be a collection of all questions in the textbooks.
