Students have complained of errors in Plus Two mark lists that they received from schools the past few days.
Teachers said students had pointed out errors in continuous evaluation marks on their mark list that had reached schools for distribution. Students said the total of their Plus One and Plus Two continuous evaluation marks in a subject were incorrect.
Problem with delay
Teachers' organisations alleged that these errors would prevent students from submitting their mark list for higher education. Recalling them and issuing new ones would lead to delays, particularly for students who had taken admission to courses outside the State and the country. The Higher Secondary School Teachers' Association sought a detailed investigation into the incident and strict action against those responsible.
Less than 10%
Officials at the Directorate of Higher Secondary Education admitted that errors had crept into the mark lists. However, less than 10% of the mark lists had these errors, they said.
They said errors had been reported only in the continuous evaluation marks of the fourth of six subjects on the mark list of the respective streams. These crept in when the data had been mapped by the printing firm and copied onto another software for printing the mark lists. At this juncture, the continuous evaluation marks obtained in Plus One had been incorrectly repeated for Plus Two, though the total marks were not affected.
The firm had agreed to rectify the errors for free. The corrected mark list would reach schools beginning Tuesday, they said.
