The Board of Secondary Education (BSE), Odisha, which last week announced the matriculation results of this year, made it clear on Monday that there would be no reevaluation of the results.
The students, who are not satisfied with their results can appear in the offline examination to be conducted after the pandemic situation improves, reiterated BSE President Ramashis Hazra reacting to the protests staged by students in several parts of the State on Monday.
Adopting a mathematical system, the BSE declared nearly 98% eligible students as matriculates on the basis of overall performances of the students in their Class-IX exams and Class-X practice tests.
The alternative evaluation method of the students also included the performances of their schools in the previous four matriculation examinations. Notably, the State Government had earlier cancelled this year’s matriculation examination due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
Alleging discrepancies in their marks, students, particularly of schools run by the RSS-affiliated Sikhya Vikash Samiti, staged protests in different parts of the State, including in front of the BSE office here. They alleged that the BSE had grudgingly deducted the marks submitted by all Saraswati Sisu Mandirs.
Admitting that some schools had submitted mark lists of their students awarding exorbitant marks, the BSE President said these anomalies were rectified after a thorough analysis of the results of these schools of last four years. “There is no question of any reevaluation of the published results.
The dissatisfied students are advised to fill up the forms for physical examination. The Board will issue a notification for the offline examination on July 5,” Hazra said.
