As part of a desperate damage control mechanism, the Board of Secondary Education (BSE) on Monday announced that fresh mark sheets of this year’s High School Certificate (HSC) examinees would be uploaded in its official website within seven days after rechecking and re-addition of the marks.
The BSE, however, did not clarify whether the answer sheets would be re-evaluated as demanded by many students, parents, teachers and other educationists, including some eminent citizens of the State.
Urging the students and their parents not to come to the BSE office here to apply for re-addition, BSE president Dakshya Prasad Nanda on Monday said the re-addition of marks obtained by all the students is being done afresh now.
“The new mark sheets of all the students will be uploaded once again in the official website of the BSE,” Nanda said, adding that applications from the students seeking re-checking of answer sheets would be entertained at a later date.
The BSE, which published the results of this year’s HSC (matriculation) examinations on April 30, has come under severe criticism after it was found that there were a lot of discrepancies in the marks awarded in both subjective and objective categories of language subjects.
