CBSE makes mistake in marks calculation in Class 12 exams

Mistake on the part of CBSE added further stress on students. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared Class 12 board exam results on May 28, 2017 on its official website. Around 10,98,420 candidates gave class 12 examination this year. There have been reports that raise question on the authenticity of this result.

This year saw many changes in the evaluation system conducted by Central Board of Secondary Education. Last year, the CBSE decided to do away with the practice of revaluation for board examination papers. In recent reports this has led to drastic dip in this year’s result. Students across the country were disappointed with their marks.

In defense of this policy CBSE’s lawyer stated that the re-evaluation policy was scrapped as it benefitted only 0.21 per cent students out of the 10 lakh students who took the board exams. He also claimed that the re-verification has been carried out and there is no change in student’s marks. Further, the lawyer said the result of re-verification would be uploaded on their official website soon. As of now, the court has yet to passed any order on the student’s pleas for re-evaluation.

According to another new policy adopted by CBSE, students are to gain up to 15 per cent extra marks in certain papers if the questions are deemed to be difficult. Reports speculate the authenticity of the results announced and call CBSE’s marks moderation policy as unfair. CBSE claims this was to bring uniformity in the evaluation system.

There have been many new petitions filed by both parents and students against these policies. They have been reasoned as the cause of inflation of results across school boards.
