#WATCH | Delhi: Sanjay Kumar, Secretary, Department of School Education and Literacy, says, "... We will charge a fee of Rs 100 from any student who wishes to view their answer sheets; a separate fee of Rs 100 applies if they wish to have their papers validated; and a fee of Rs 25 applies for the re-checking of the answer to any specific question. We have decided that if, during the scrutiny process, a student's marks increase or are revised upwards, we will refund the entire amount paid by them for the re-evaluation..." He also says, "Whether it is the Ministry of Education or the CBSE, the welfare and concerns of all our children are of paramount importance to us. Therefore, we want to ensure that no child feels, for any reason whatsoever, that they have received lower marks than they deserve—either based on their merit or the actual performance reflected in the answers they wrote during the examination. The provision for re-evaluation has always existed within the CBSE framework... We will ensure that the marks awarded, including the totalling of scores, are absolutely accurate... CBSE has taken a decisive step this time: if you wish to view your question paper or answer sheet, seek its verification, we have decided that the fee previously charged for such services..."

CBSE’s Commitment to Fair, Transparent and Equitable Evaluation It has been observed that following the declaration of the CBSE Class XII results, several posts have appeared on social media regarding the assessment under the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, particularly in relation to marks obtained by students in Physics, Chemistry, Biology and Mathematics. The OSM system was introduced to enhance transparency, fairness, and consistency in the evaluation process by ensuring stepwise marking, which has long been a salient feature of the Board’s evaluation framework. The system aims to promote uniformity and objectivity in the assessment of answer scripts across subjects and across regions. Another key feature of the Board’s evaluation system has been the opportunity afforded for re-evaluation provided to students who may be dissatisfied with their results. This reflects the Board’s commitment to transparency, fairness, and equity. Accordingly, this opportunity will be made available this year as well. Students may apply for copies of their evaluated answer books, and in case any discrepancy is observed by them, they may request for corrective action. These processes are required to be undertaken through the mechanism prescribed by the Board. The Board once again reiterates its unwavering commitment to maintaining a fair, just, consistent and equitable assessment system, ensuring that they are in accordance with the transparent and robust evaluation practices adopted by the Board. @EduMinOfIndia @dpradhanbjp @sanjayjavin @PIB_India @PIB_Edu @DDNewslive @AkashvaniAIR @airnewsalerts @PTI_News
