SC says CBSE should consider problem of students who scored less marks in class 12 improvement exams – Education News
The Supreme Court on Monday said the CBSE should consider the problem of those students who had appeared in the examinations this year for improving marks in class 12 but obtained lower numbers, as it will affect the admissions secured by them for higher studies. The students who appeared in the improvement exams have taken admissions based on their original results and that should not be disturbed, the apex court observed.
A bench of Justices A M Khanwilkar and C T Ravikumar was informed that the CBSE has filed a counter-affidavit stating that the previous result of the students, who failed subsequently in the improvement examinations, would be considered and they would have the opportunity to retain it. “The only difficulty is with the students who have scored fewer marks in improvement examinations. They have also taken admission on the basis of their previous result. So, they should also be given the liberty to keep their original result that was published on the basis of the evaluation policy,” the counsel appearing for the petitioners told the bench.
The top court was hearing a plea filed by some students, who had appeared in the CBSE improvement exams this year for improving their marks in class 12, seeking a direction to the board to maintain their original results. The bench told the counsel appearing for the CBSE that such students, who have scored fewer marks in improvement examinations, have taken admissions on the basis of their original marks.
“This will have an impact on the admission which has been given,” the bench observed, adding, “Their admission will be affected immediately. You will have to consider this. This is only a one-time arrangement. This is not a permanent policy,” the bench told the CBSE’s counsel, who said he would take instructions on this aspect.
