Day 4: Debate On 'CBSE Dumping Re-evaluation'

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to scrap from next year the provision of re-evaluation of answer sheets for class XII students. Re-evaluation, introduced by the CBSE in 2014, was the only national school board in the country to offer this facility to students. The ISC Board allows only a re-check or re-addition of marks and examinees do not get to see copies of the answer scripts. While the options of verification of marks (calculation errors) and access to photocopy of evaluated answer scripts will continue, the final stage of re-evaluation (complete check of answers) has been discontinued. 

Why this move: CBSE reasoned that a negligible percentage of students actually applied for re-evaluation.

The provision till date: The re-evaluation facility was valid for 11 subjects — English (core and elective), Hindi (core and elective), mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology, business studies, economics and accountancy. Under the re-evaluation system, still valid till 2016, a candidate first has to apply for verification of marks, followed by an application for photocopy of the answer sheets. Finally, one can apply for re-evaluation in the above-mentioned subjects. Also, there is a cap on the number of questions a candidate could demand re-evaluation for.

Experts take
 
The move is not in the interest of students and is likely to face legal challenges. In today’s competitive world, students are highly stressed, they need an opportunity for the re-evaluation of their papers. 
Srinivasan M, principal, Gear International School, Bengaluru

In a world where transparency is the keyword, such a move is detrimental and will affect students badly. For instance, this year, a student of our school found out that 16 marks had not been added to his aggregate in a subject when he got the pdf of his answer script during re-evaluation.
Kanak Shankar Mukherjee, teacher, Lakshmipat Singhania Academy, Kolkata

Process of re-evaluation ensured transparency in paper checking process. This step will be disappointing for students. Besides, though CBSE’s evaluation process is thorough, chances of human error cannot be ruled out; this will end the scope for rectification process.
Pragya Pandya, principal, St Kabir, Ahmedabad

Students who apply for re-evaluation are the ones who have hopes that they had done well. This will affect their career aspirations.
Neelima Sharma, ex- CBSE consultant, Delhi


Students take
 
The world being as competitive as it is today, it is necessary for one to get as many “proofs” of their victories to get ahead in any field. Stopping re-evaluation will demoralise us.
Tahira Afrin Choudhury, class XII, Sushila Birla Girls’ School, Kolkata

We have the right to know why our marks were deducted. Besides, there have been cases where students have improved their score through re-evaluation. In class XII , every mark counts and the process  of re-evaluation is essential.
Chaavi Singh, class XI, APS, Ahmedabad 
 
Very few cases are re-evaluated since the facility is only used in the rare case when something has actually gone wrong, not because students do not find it useful. It would be unfair to students if re-evaluation is cancelled.
Rushil Pingali, IBDP 1, Podar International School, Mumbai

Re-evaluation is a method by which students get an opportunity to get their papers re-checked in case they find any error in the method of checking. Although only 1.8 per cent of the total students apply for verification of their scores and very few of these are genuine cases, I feel that this method helps deserving students to a great extent. Scrapping it could be detrimental.
Shambhavi, class X, GG International School, Pune
 
 
Is it a good move? Does your school have a revaluation process in place? Can you make a list of elements of Indian education system that CBSE needs to do away with?

Pallavi singh PRESENTATION CONVENT(RED FORT)

No, from my view the revaluation process should be present because sometimes even after giving the exam well students are flabergasted to see their result. In our school answer sheets are shown after checking by which students can be intimated about the mistakes they have done and also check if the calculations are wellly done or not.

Pallavi singh PRESENTATION CONVENT(RED FORT)

Yes i think the CCE pattern in 9th and 10th should be scraped out. As it makes the studies very easeful and also provides marks generously which depends upon the teacher. It conceals the true effort by students. Also students should be evaluated on the basis of practical application of knoledge rather than only exam.

saishalini Bethel Mat Hr Sec School

Surely its not a good move because people can make mistakes any time . Correcting many papers at a time can make the teachers tired which results in discomfort and it will lead to wrong totalling or the other. So its good to have retotaling in CBSE.

Brenda Marshal PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

Obviously it''s not a good move

No, it is not a good move because humans are bound to make errors and these can be corrected only through re-evalution. My school has a revaluation process in place and this process should be continued in my opinion.

Pragyamita Basu B.D.M. International

According to me dumping of re-evaluation is highly not appreciable.When a large number of papers are checked at a time there are chances of faults which can be expected as after all they are also checked by human beings.But stopping the re-evaluation process is highly protestable.One thing left is to wait and watch what alternatives are introduced by the respected CBSE system.

Ritvik Baweja Bal Bharati Public School

I don''t agree with this view of CBSE. Scrapping the revaluation will result in the closing of pointing out any discrepancies after evaluation. Manier times the examiner commits mistakes while checking, even though they are rare chances, but still these few marks can change someone''s life. I believe that there should be same syllabus for all public and private schools, so that there is equality in the level of teaching.

Mansi Borade PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

I think it is view because it thing that they must be scared and not be do much also.

Riya Pandey Childrens academy

CBSE has not taken a right move as this will create contentment in the minds of students. Sometimes the checker may make mistakes and so the students will have to suffer .As far as my school is concerned than in my school the copies are shown and even checked again if necessary.

samridhi bhardwaj air force school

According to my opinion, revaluating system is a must and in no circumstances should be ceased. Students should have the right to know where they have gone wrong and lost marks. It will help them shape a better future as a small mistake while valuating the answer sheet can jeopardize their future. In my school the students are never kept in dark and are always shown the papers while updating them about their mistakes and areas they are lagging behind.

Brenda Marshal PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

We should have faith on our invigilator.

MEGHA BANSAL RAINBOW ENGLISH SCHOOL (JANAKPURI)

I would strongly like to say that CCE pattern for 9th and 10th should be removed. It’s just a burden and a distraction. I agree that its base is right and should be considered but the evaluation criteria and grading systems are its strong drawbacks. Rather, like in college admissions it could give jumps for particular participations and achievements of certain percentage.

Bhavana Jaison Atomic Energy Central School No 2

Re valuation is the right of children. By scraping the re valuation CBSE is trying to question the right of children . After the exam children knows what they have done and how much marks they may get . So they expect some what near by percentage and if they are not getting re valuation is the only hope in frond of them . SCRAPING DOWN OF REVALUATION MAY LEAD TO MORE SUICIDE CASE DUE TO DEPRESSION .

Sanjula Gupta BHAWAN VIDYALAYA CHD-SEC-27

The process of re-evaluation should not be scrapped at all. Instead, it should be valid for even more number of subjects including Political Science, Psychology, Sociology etc. Re-evaluation is a tool that should be given to students if they aren''t satisfied with their marks.

Sharmeen Khan PADUA HIGH SCHOOL-MANKHURD

It is not at all fair to scrape away the re evaluation process. This questions the indian education system. Children after giving exam get an idea of a certain amount of marks, but when they dont get the aimed marks, they get dispirited and this sometimes proves fatal. Re evaluation gives the children a second chance to prove themselves. The person checking the paper is a human afterall and he can make a mistake while checking thousands of paper.

Tanya Singh BHAWAN VIDYALAYA CHD-SEC-27

The presence of transparency in the system is what is at stake here. Re-evaluation allowed individuals to see for themselves where they were at fault. I believe this move will have certain consequences, if not grave. Many sincere students would be at a disadvantage.

Prerana Sengupta B.D.M. International

Re evaluation should not be scrapped as at times students are flabbergasted to see the marks in their board results. As the saying goes ''To err is human.'' so during the final caging of marks there may be errors . So in order to ensure that the marks are error free reevaluation should prevail . But yes CCE system should be dumped as the students are deprived of the habit of giving 100 marks test.

Mrunal Sunil Taras BLOSSOM SCHOOL

According to me, this is not at all a good move. Re-evaluation provides students a second chance to prove them and also pass expectations. Sometimes some students get passed but the result does not satisfy or reach their expectations and they get a good chance.

Muskaan Bhatia APEEJAY SCHOOL (PITAM PURA)

In this country where a student''s value is based on his or her marks, CBSE''s decision to scrap the re-evaluation will have a serious toll on students future. Every year, there are so many cases where there has been the Board''s fault and the marks have been increased. Moreover, this process must not be restricted to only 11 subjects but include vocational subjects too. In the end, it will be only us who will suffer and not the CBSE.
