HSC exam: issue of mark sheets by this month-end

CUTTACK: The State Board of Secondary Education (BSE), which published the annual High School Certificate (HSC) examination results on Saturday has decided to issue memoranda of mark sheets and certificates to all successful candidates by the month-end.

“We have decided to issue the mark sheets and certificates to all passed students by June 30 in order to enable the students to apply for different institutions for higher studies,” said BSE president Satyakam Mishra on Sunday.

“This year the pass certificates and mark sheets of the students are coming in a single sheet with the photograph of the student and his/her signature embossed on it. The despatch of certificates to different zones has already started. From zones, it will go to different schools and the process will be over by Tuesday,” Mr. Mishra said adding in case any error was spotted in the certificates, the zone offices were authorized to rectify the errors at their end.

The board president further disclosed that proposals were pending before the State government for introducing Continuous Comprehensive Evaluation (CCE) as was done by CBSE, New Delhi, for the students taking the State Board exams.

He was also in favour of giving some credit to the BSE students during consideration of admission at Plus II stage.

“Since there is no scope to evaluate co-scholastic performance of our students under the present pattern of examination, they should be given some credit during the admissions for Plus II stage,” Mr. Mishra said.

New proposals

He also pointed out that there were proposals to have internal examination of 20 marks in each subject for the Oriya medium students in annual school leaving examination.

In the annual examination, which would have 80 marks in each subject, emphasis would be given to evaluate the students' memory, analysis, and ability and expression power.

“For this we have decided to have 40 marks devoted for multiple answer type questions and thy would be in OMR format and the remaining 40 marks would be exclusively long type and short questions of two to three sentences,” the Board president disclosed.
