CBSE orders schools to suspend teachers for miscalculation in Board exams
New Delhi : The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has ordered schools to suspend teachers for miscalculation of marks in the recent Board Exams. So far, five teachers from the Delhi region — three from government schools and two from private schools — have been suspended after anomalies of up to 50-55 marks were found during the re-evaluation of Class 10 and 12 examination papers.
A detailed report in regards to the matter is being prepared, said a CBSE official. The re-evaluation saw some students getting 50-55 marks more than what they were given. In one of the cases, a student had failed in Urdu, but was passed after re-evaluation.
The Class 12 marks are especially crucial as Delhi University conducts admissions based on the board examination results.
This is not the first time where miscalculation has been found in the exam papers. However, the CBSE maintains that the percentage of miscalculation has come down compared to last few years.
The CBSE had, on June 1, started the process of re-evaluation process for those who had appeared for the class 10 and 12 board examinations this year.
