Representative imageLucknow: The Uttar Pradesh Secondary Education Board (UPSEB) which conducts class X and XII UP Board exam, has received over 32,000 applications for re-checking of answer copies.
For the first time, the applications from candidates unsatisfied with their marks were invited online. The class X and XII UP Board results were declared on June 27.
Though UPSEB did not share the data, sources said the number of application forms received for scrutiny is almost 1 lakh every year.
This year, 32,084 applications have asked for re-checking of copies. While 24,291 are from class XII examinees, 7,813 are from class X candidates.
Reasons for the drop include the increase in scrutiny fee by five times and making the application process online. The Covid-induced lockdown, said officials, also prevented candidates from visiting cyber cafes to fill in the form. Till last year, examinees seeking scrutiny had to apply offline.
UPSEB allows scrutiny where the answer copies are re-checked to ensure that the candidate has been awarded marks for all attempted questions. Re-totalling is done to verify the grand total awarded to the candidate.
Candidates have to pay Rs 500 per subject for scrutiny. Till 2018, the scrutiny fee was Rs 100 per subject. There is no process for revaluation of the answer copy. This year, Prayagraj region received the highest scrutiny applications (10,231) followed by Varanasi region with 7,624 applications. While Meerut region received 6,752 applications, Gorakhpur and Bareilly regions got 4,318 and 3,159 applications respectively.
