The board conducted a comprehensive analysis of answer scripts of students who have committed suicide and found that none of them were linked to error in publication of results.
According to a press release issued by TSBIE, a committee consisting of subject experts was constituted to verify errors in evaluation, posting and totaling of marks. "A total of 53 answer scripts of failed students who committed/attempted suicide were re-verified by the selected regular lecturers or respective subjects. It was observed that there was no remarkable change in the result of the studets after re-verifying. Failed subjects remained failed after re-verification too," stated the press release.
The analysis indicated that of the 25 students, 10 had failed in one subject, 12 failed in more than one subject, three despite passing the examination committed suicide. In total, 22 have committed suicide and three attempted suicide.
The board found that in a particular case, a student committed suicide despite scoring 85% and 'A' grade. In another case, a student committed suicide after writing third paper thinking that she would fail while in fact she had passed in all subjects which she had attempted.
Officials opined that in-depth analysis of all cases must be conducted by an expert committee and necessary measures should be initiated to avoid future case of suicides.
Meanwhile, the Telangana State Technology Services selected Data Tech MethodEx Pvt Ltd as the new agency to process re-verification/recounting (RV/RC) results in tandem with Globarena. The RV/RC process is being conducted at 12 spot valuation centres across the state.
"Based on the report of the three member committee, a new agency has been selected by the TSTS to update the data online and process result. The committee has indicated that both Globarena and the new agency will process the result parallelly and independently so that there won't be any error in result declaration," stated a press release issued by the board.
The release further added that the result will be declared by May 10 and only when the results processed by both agencies match. "Further scanned copy of these answer scripts will be available for download within 15 days of declaration of results," stated the release.
