PATNA:
Bihar School Examination Board (
BSEB) chairman Anand Kishor has asserted that the board didn’t commit any error and dismissed allegations of discrepancies in
Class XII results.
“Also, the board has offered to the examinees to make corrections, if need be,” Kishor said at a press conference at the BSEB HQ on Wednesday.
He said the aggrieved examinees could register their complaint online on
www.bsebssresult.com/scrutiny for errors like discrepancies in date of birth, gender, incomplete result, marks received for subjects not written and absence.
“Such errors will be rectified after procuring details of the students from their respective schools,” he said and reiterated that such errors, if any, were committed by the schools which filled up the forms of students.
Kishor said the claim that certain examinees were awarded more than total marks was not correct. “This confusion cropped up only in the results of those candidates who appeared for re-examination to improve their aggregate. Last year, the theory paper was of 42, objective paper of 28 and practical of 30 marks. Under the new pattern, theory and objective papers were of 35 marks each. The candidates, who claim to have obtained more than total marks, were actually awarded as per rules the previous year’s marks as they could not fetch more marks than last year,” Kishor explained.
The scrutiny applications of candidates who have cleared medical and engineering entrance tests will be given priority. “Around 50,000 students have applied for scrutiny,” Kishor said and added certain mistakes might have occurred at the time of evaluators giving marks to candidates in the
OMR sheet, but such mistakes would be corrected through the scrutiny process.
He also clarified there was no provision of minimum attendance to appear in the state board exams. “However, invidual schools have independently framed rules in this regard,” Kishor said.
