No re-evaluation of CBSE Class XII answer scripts from 2017

October 5, 2016

New Delhi, Oct 5: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to do away with the option for re-evaluation of answer sheets for the Class XII board examinations from 2017.

cbseexamThe decision was taken in view of the growing number of applications and limited human resource. “We have decided to end the facility from next year,” said CBSE chairman Rajesh Kumar Chaturvedi.

In 2014, the board began offering re-evaluation option in 12 of the total 187 subjects, including physics, chemistry, mathematics and biology.

It also provided students with an option to apply for a copy of their evaluated answer sheets and challenge the evaluation in up to 10 questions by paying Rs 200 for each.

The re-evaluation option was brought in after the introduction of a new format of the joint entrance examination (JEE), wherein it was decided to be conducted in two parts – JEE Main and JEE Advanced – for admissions to premier technical institutes, including the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs).

As the nationwide test stipulated that only top 20 percentile holders of each board or those who secure over 75% marks would be eligible for admissions to IITs based on their performance in JEE Advanced, there was a surge in demand for re-evaluation.

“While the number of applications is growing each year, we have very limited manpower to process them. Moreover, it is also not justified to allow re-evaluation in just 12 of 187 subjects. The issue was recently discussed at the board's governing council meeting also. Most of the members supported ending the facility,” a CBSE official said.

The board has also decided to hold the next central teachers' eligibility test (CTET) online. Chaturvedi said that a move has also been initiated to bring more reforms in the examination system and the CBSE's affiliation by-laws, required to give more teeth to the board to take action against schools violating the rules. Chaturvedi said the board has also decided to make the process of verification of class XII board certificates completely online from next year. The board is already sending the mark sheets and other details to the national academic depository.

Hassan, Feb 9: Accusing the Centre for treating Karnataka as its enemy Former Minister and Congress leader UT Khader on Saturday said that the state did not get support from the Centre on the Mahadayi issue and flood relief and even the Union Budget.

Speaking to the media here, he said that the state has elected 25 BJP Lok Sabha members. Three from the state were Ministers in the Union Cabinet and another MP has been appointed president of the party’s state unit.

'None of them have spoken about the injustice done to the state in the budget. The budget document announced Rs 18,600 crore for the suburban railway in Bengaluru. But, ultimately the amount earmarked for the project is only Rs 1 crore. How can any BJP leader justify this?', the Congress leader wondered.

Bengaluru, Jun 16: Former prime minister H D Deve Gowda on Tuesday termed as 'disturbing' the violent clash between Indian and Chinese troops in Galwan Valley and said the government should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue.

He sought to know as to how Indian soldiers lost their lives during a de-escalation process and said Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Defence Minister Rajnath Singh should come out with a clearer picture.

"Reports coming from #GalwanValley are disturbing. Why did our soldiers lose their lives during a de-escalation process? In national interest, the PM and RM should offer a clearer picture to the nation on the border issue with the Chinese. #LADAKHSTANDOFF," Gowda tweeted. An Indian Army officer and two soldiers were killed during the confrontation with Chinese troops in the Galwan Valley in eastern Ladakh on Monday night, the first such incident in the last 45 years that reflected massive escalation in the five- week border row.

The Army said India lost an officer and two soldiers during the violent face-off, while there were casualties on the Chinese side as well.
