Standing with Class 12 Students, CBSE’s Evaluation Failures Cannot Be Ignored My daughter appeared for the Class 12 Board examinations this year. Although she has secured decent marks, she remains deeply disappointed with her results because she believes her performance in the papers was much better than the marks awarded. We have obtained the scanned copies of all her answer sheets. On careful verification, we have identified significant discrepancies in four out of five subjects, including several correct answers marked as incorrect and many answers that have not been evaluated at all. We estimate that more than 20 marks can justifiably be awarded upon proper re-evaluation. I fully understand the pain and frustration being faced by thousands of students across the country who are in a similar situation. In India, Board examinations are excessively glorified by society. Students are constantly judged and questioned about their marks by family and relatives, turning these results into a measure of their worth. It is unfortunate that agencies like CBSE & NTA have failed to uphold basic standards of fairness in evaluation. While they expect 17–18-year-old students to endure immense mental pressure, they themselves seem unable to evaluate answer sheets with due diligence. This systemic failure has pushed many bright young students to the brink, with several losing their lives due to such issues. We therefore request the CBSE to kindly undertake immediate re-evaluation of all such students, including my daughter, who have identified clear errors in their answer sheets and are expecting rightful improvement in marks. I stand completely with these students and am ready to extend every possible help and support, including legal assistance, to ensure justice is delivered. If the Board fails to address these genuine cases, we will have no option but to initiate appropriate court proceedings.
