CBSE Board has decided to allow scrutiny of answer books of Class 10 and class 12 examinations following Delhi High Court’s intervention in the matter. Though, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to allow scrutiny of answer books of only those students who have applied for photocopies of their evaluated scripts.
CBSE has last week told the Delhi High Court that if any student who wrote the class 12 exams feels that his or her answer sheets were not correctly evaluated, he or she can now approach the board under its verification scheme.
The submission was made by the CBSE before a vacation bench of justices Manmohan and Yogesh Khanna, who accepted the board’s submission and asked the students to approach the authority. On the submission made by the CBSE, the bench disposed of the petitions.
