Evaluators are known to be stern and stingy with marks. In a rare case, however, some evaluators, who assessed the Secondary School Leaving Certificate (SSLC) 2015 examination papers, awarded marks to a student who had written only questions in the answer script, and even for wrong answers. In some instances, the evaluators appeared to have corrected the answers and awarded marks.
The student appeared for the exams as a private candidate of a school in Bengaluru.
A complaint with the Karnataka Secondary Education and Examination Board (KSEEB) led to an enquiry, which showed that the evaluators had erred in awarding marks to the private candidate who had appeared for three papers. The candidate’s marks after re-evaluation changed from 41 marks to 13 in mathematics, 40 marks to three in the science paper and 39 marks to eight in the social science paper.
The board withdrew the result of the candidate.
Commissioner of Public Instruction K.S. Sathyamurthy recommended suspension of seven evaluators, all teachers from Belagavi district. While most evaluators get away by paying a fine, suspension was ordered as it was found to be an exceptional case.
On Monday, Additional Commissioner of Public Instruction (Dharwad) Veeranna G. Thuramari said that one government school teacher has been suspended while the department has written to the various schools (one unaided and five aided) to suspend the rest.
