The Delhi High Court on Friday commanded the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to reverse its decision of scraping of the re-evaluation policy.
“You (CBSE) should not have done that. You too make mistakes,” said High Court Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva during a hearing of a plea to re-evaluate the Mathematics and English answer sheets of a class 12 student.
The Board put up their defense by saying that there are only 0.21% of papers that had evaluation errors. The High Court shunned this off by saying that the percentage equals 2100 students out of 10 lakh.
Another hearing was scheduled for June 19.
“Careers of 2100 students are at stake” said the Justice regarding the scrapping of the re-evaluation policy.
Last week, 159 students had approached the Orissa High Court alleging that there were discrepancies in the evaluation of the class 12 papers. The Court had then asked the CBSE to conduct a re-evaluation of the answer sheets of these students.
