Imphal, June 30 2019:
With reports of discrepancies in the results of the HSLC Examination conducted by the Board of Secondary Education (BOSEM), Democratic Students' Alliance Manipur (DESAM) today asked the Government, Department concerned to conduct fresh re-evaluation of all the candidates who appeared in the examination this year.
The demand of DESAM came amidst reports that at least two students were found to have scored much higher marks than they got after re-evaluation.
According to reports, a student who was placed in the 24th position was found securing 16th position.
Another student who cleared the examination in first division was found securing position among top 25 after re-evaluation.
Citing poor conduct of the answer script evaluation, DESAM in a statement today lashed out at the Board for repeating the same mistake year after year.
Fresh re-evaluation of all the candidates should be done for more accurate and transparent results, DESAM demanded that Head Examiner, Examiner and Co-ordinator of the examination must not be part of the fresh re-evaluation team.
It further demanded that the "report of the enquiry committee set up regarding the previous year's (2018) HSLCE results be made public" .
Education Minister should bear the responsibility and resign on moral ground if re-evaluation of all the candidates is not done at the earliest, said DESAM pointing out that such discrepancies in the results are reasons for deteriorating image of the Board.
