PUNE: Students from the state board, who have appeared for the secondary (std X) and higher secondary (std XII) certificate examinations, will get full marks only in exceptional cases, teachers said.
This year, it would be even more difficult to 'score' as the internal marking system has been eliminated. The trend in the CBSE and ICSE examinations may not be the same for state board students, teachers said. However, the state board’s strategy over the marking system would remain a suspense till June when results will be declared.
English language teacher Shripad Kale said, “In order to stop high scoring marks, the state board decided to do away with the internals in English and social science. This year, the students will write the theory subject for full 100 marks. So they are bound to lose out against non-state board counterparts.”
Another teacher, Kakasaheb Walunjkar, said there will be a sharp decline even in schools securing 100% results. “Only in exceptional cases will students score perfect marks due to scrapping of internal assessment,” he added.
Walunjkar said if the CBSE and ICSE students do not change the board for the first year junior college, then the admission scenario will not get affected by the high scores. In the past, the schools would give full marks to students in the internal exams to improve their own overall results.
An SSC board teacher Jayvant Kulkarni said the government says that marks should not be given importance over knowledge and on the other hand, the admissions are solely based on marks. “School teachers, evaluation, standards, salaries and government aid is also calculated bases on the marks scored by students. Naturally, parents, students, teachers, schools and every board has started going after marks,” he added.
Director of the Maharashtra State Council of Education Research and Training Sunil Magar said it was unfair to compare students from different education boards.
“State board students have been scoring high in the recent years. The students and parents will have to agree to the outcome of the results.”
