The Delhi High Court on Friday disapproved of the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) scrapping of the re-evaluation policy pointing out that the Board is also capable of mistakes. While the Board had claimed that only 0.21 per cent of papers had evaluation errors as the reason behind the scrapping of the policy, the High Court pointed out that the percentage equals 2100 students out of 10 lakh.
