CBSE Board Exams 2024: As per the Delhi High Court, schools are not permitted to change the internal assessment marks for any student once uploaded. The order has come after a plea filed by students asking for correction in the CBSE class 10 internal assessment marks. Delhi HC has made it clear that it is not allowed since asking for corrections after school has made mistakes while uploading marks will create ‘’utter chaos’’.
Referring to the court as ’’powerless’’, Justice C Hari Shankar stated that the circulars released by the board pertaining to the upload of internal assessment marks clearly and categorically do not permit any such modification once the scores are uploaded, they will be considered final for result preparation.
"Once a school uploads the internal assessment marks of a student on the website of the CBSE, it cannot seek any correction in that regard, even if there was an error while uploading the marks. This is one of those unfortunate cases in which the court regrets that it has to rule from the head and not from the heart." the court said in the latest order.
CBSE Board Exams 2024: Oman Student Files Petition in Court
A student in a CBSE-affiliated school in Oman filed a plea in the court after witnessing that despite scoring 20 out of 20 marks in the internal assessment, her final class 10 results showed only 18 marks.
The petitioner further stated that there was no dispute over the fact that she had been granted 20 marks and she should not suffer because of her school’s mistake. The court said that the restrictions on some corrections are in the public interest and thus, they should be careful while uploading marks.
CBSE Board Exams 2024: Board Shows Inability to Accept Requests
"The CBSE would also not be in a position to blindly accept such requests, and would, if this practice were to be allowed, have to conduct independent verifications in each such case to ascertain the actual marks which the candidate had been awarded. It would be debatable as to whether the CBSE would ever, in that case, be in a position to announce the final results of all students. The court observed that circulars issued by the CBSE could not be challenged in the matter and therefore, there was no "sustainable grievance" in the petition.
