The CBSE Class 12 fiasco has further entangled in controversy in Odisha after the marks of few students dropped compared to their previous scores after re-evaluation.
CBSE had yesterday mailed the re-evaluated marks to 18 students who had earlier moved High Court seeking re-evaluation of their answer copies. As per reports, the marks of only three students got increased after the re-checking.
However, CBSE advocate Taranand Patnaik claimed that, ‘CBSE discharges its duty in a transparent manner and re-evaluation has again proved it as the marks of only 3 students out of 18 has increased.”
In another development, Odisha State Commission for Protection of Child Rights (OSCPCR) today served a show-case to CBSE on the discrepancies in results basing on the petition filed by some students and parents association on the issue.
