New Delhi:
Soon after the much awaited CBSE class 12th result was declared, there were waves of happiness and enjoyment nationwide. However in the State capital of Odisha, Bhubaneswar, things were not as in the rest of the country. Many students from the city who tried to check their result found that the board had withheld their result! A day after the result declaration, students staged demonstration outside the Board's regional office at Saheed Nagar. Some even claimed that there's faulty valuation of answer sheet. "I was shocked to find that I have secured 5 marks in Maths and 8 in Chemistry, while my English score is 85. I am not as bad a student to fail in the exam. I don't believe it. I want revaluation of the papers at the earliest," said an aggrieved student of a city school.
Considering the agony of students, Chief Minister Naveen Patnaik, has requested the HRD Minister to 'issue appropriate directions to the CBSE authorities to rectify the situation in order to provide relief to the affected students.' According to a local media report, two officials deputed by HRD Minister have arrived in the City to look into Class 12 result discrepancies.
Results of 13500 students have been withheld. We talked to Ashok Paikaray, Secretary, Odisha Parents Association for the details of meeting to which he said that Board has asked for complete report of each of aggrieved student, detailing the timeline of his/ her performance.
