Massive discrepancies and errors in marks have been reported in Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) class 12 Board results.
According to The Times of India, a class 12 student from Delhi scored 68 in Mathematics while having secured over 95 in all other subjects. On verification, her result jumped to 95 in Math as well. A similar thing happened with a Mumbai student whose marks in Math jumped to 90 from 50 after verification.
A CBSE official told TOI that the number of applications received for verification were, in fact, large and that the errors could be a result of totaling mistake, a detachment of supplementary sheets or incorrect marks being mentioned on the front page.
Notably, CBSE currently allows only verification. Re-evaluation of marks is done only after a court order.
Recently, the Orissa High Court asked the CBSE to re-evaluate the answer sheets of at least 159 more students, who approached the court alleging discrepancies in their class XII results.
On May 28, the CBSE had announced the results for Class 12 examinations. Raksha Gopal from Amity International School in Noida had topped the examinations. The pass percentage was reported to be 1% lower than last year’s 82%.
