The CSpur DAVIAN Parents’ Association on Thursday submitted a memorandum to the Bhubaneswar CBI Superintendent of Police demanding a thorough probe into the alleged irregularities in the CBSE Class-XII results published on May 21.

Association president Sanjukta Panigrahi said the results were published in the website at 10 am and most of the students secured poor marks in Mathematic. But after four to five hours, there was hell and heaven difference in the marks in both the results. Marks in Mathematics increased, she added.

Even the students, who had failed in the first result, emerged successful with good grade in Mathematics as per the results were published for second time, said Panigrahi.

Similarly, the same thing has happened in the case of the Sai International School.

Such contradictory result available in the same website of the CBSE not only speaks about how the CBSE board is playing with the carrier of students and sentiments of parents but also raised many questions about transparency in the CBSE, said association vice-president Sunil Das.

The association raised question that on what ground the marks have been adjusted, especially in Mathematics.

Meanwhile, a five-member team of the Siksha Adhikar Suraksha Manch led by its president Sanjukta Panigrahi met the CBI, Odisha Branch Director and gave a comprehensive report on the alleged irregularities in the publication of results.

The team also submitted a memorandum to the CBI official demanding an immediate probe into the matter and arrest of the persons to be found guilty.

The CBI authorities assured the team of taking immediate action in this regard. Manch Convenor Pratap Sahu, Sachikant Pradhan, Swayamprabha Sahu, Arun Swain and Menaka Parida were present.
