CBSE Needs to Learn Mathematics! Board Fails to Calculate the Total Marks, Revaluation Reveals the Inefficiency
This year about 10,000 students were victims of totalling errors in class 10 and class 12 board exam results who registered for re-evaluation.
Once again, major mismanagement from the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has come into the attention risking many students’ future at risk. The board needs to learn basic mathematics. When CBSE announced the class 12 results, a student reportedly failed scoring 16 marks in English language paper. The Delhi girl’s head high as she is on her way to college after verification of her result that revealed that the marks were not added by the officials correctly. She had scored 80 out of total marks, a shocking difference that reveals the board's inefficiency. The media reports are claiming that this year about 10,000 students were victims of totalling errors in class 10 and class 12 board exam results.
Meenakshi (name changed) who scored 80 and saw a difference of 400 percent marks was quoted in a TOI report saying, “Forget failing, I could not have scored anything less than 80.” She further informed, “They didn’t add 64 marks, so all I got was 16, which has now become 80.” The CBSE officials are quite about this embarrassing situation and reportedly, the board has received so far over 10,000 requests to re-check from both class 10 and class 12 students after they came across huge errors in totalling the marks. It also came into notice that a student who scored zero in Urdu, after verification managed to get 37.
Last year too, many students became the victim of CBSE’s totalling errors. Looking at it, the board decided to assign two evaluators for each answer book, but it appears that the measure did not work. Another student from class 12 who as per earlier calculation had failed with 12 marks, now scored 59. After the question paper leaks this year in April, a high-powered committee was set up by the Ministry of Human Resource Development (HRD) and concerns regarding CBSE’s evaluation process was also put forward.
