The CBSE had conducted the board exams from March 9 to April 29 this year for which about 11 lakh candidates had applied. Among them, more than 78,000 candidates had applied for verification of their marks and with the reports on discrepancies, more students demanded an extension of the date to apply for verification/re-totaling. For this, the dates were from May 31 to June 5 and to apply for a answer sheet photocopies, the dates were from June 14 to 19.
School education secretary Anil Swarup and CBSE chairperson RK Chaturvedi on Tuesday have decided that the Board needs to work on systematic changes since such discrepancies may have been present for a few years now.
Many students have filed for RTIs in order to obtain photocopies of their answer sheets so as to maneuver past the condition that they “shall not be challenged by any examinee in the court of law or (he won’t) make any claim on this account in any forum”.
