HPBOSE 12th Result 2025: Himachal Board To Re-evaluate English Paper Marks After 'Human Error'
HPBOSE will re-evaluate Class 12 English exam papers due to incorrect answer keys. Revised results will be announced soon.
The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBOSE) will re-evaluate Class 12 English exam papers using the correct answer keys, following a 'human error" that affected the marks compilation, officials announced on Wednesday.
The original English exam, held on March 8, was rescheduled to March 29 after a mix-up at Government Senior Secondary School in Chowari, Chamba district, where staff accidentally opened the Class 12 question paper a day early—mistaking it for the Class 10 paper on March 7.
After the Class 12 results were declared on Saturday, HPBOSE received numerous complaints from students who had scored unexpectedly low marks in English.
The issue was brought to the board's attention by the Himachal Pradesh Government Teachers Union (HPGTU) and private school associations. In response, Education Minister Rohit Thakur directed the board to investigate the matter and take corrective measures.
An internal inquiry revealed that incorrect answer keys from the cancelled exam were mistakenly used, leading to widespread discrepancies in marks, according to HPBOSE Secretary Vishal Sharma.
Admitting the error, the board confirmed that the affected answer sheets would be re-evaluated. Only upward revisions will be made—no student's marks will be reduced. The revised results will be announced soon.
Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education, HPBOSE Class 12 Results 2025 were declared on May 29 by the Board Chairman via a press conference. Around 84,930 students took the HP board 12th exams this year out of which 83.16 per cent passed. Una district student Mehak from the Science stream secured the first position in the state with 486 marks and 97.2%.

Mathru Mandali to celebrate 90th anniv on Aug 9
Mysuru: Mathru Mandali, a pioneer institution for girls' education and women empowerment , will celebrate its 90th anniversary on Aug 9. Former minister and Congress MLC Umashree will launch the event. IPS officer and writer Dharanidevi Malagatti will release a souvenir. Speaking to reporters on Wednesday, Mathru Mandali secretary Vani Prasad said the organisation began its journey in 1935 in VV Mohalla, where there were no exclusive schools for girls at the time. It was founded by four visionary women—Kameshwaramma Kuppuswamy, Soundaryamma Venkatesan, Sunandamma, and Kaballi Nagarathnamma— with the goal of empowering women through education and skill-building. The institution started with kindergarten, tailoring, and dance classes, laying a strong foundation for both academic and cultural development. In 1939, under the able leadership of Soundaryamma, the school moved to a rented space on Adipampa Road and later acquired land for its permanent campus. The school gradually expanded to offer education in both Kannada and English mediums and now serves over 250 students. A pre-university college offering arts and commerce streams was added in 1968, now catering to 200 students. In 1995, as part of its diamond jubilee, Mathru Mandali opened a special school for intellectually challenged children in Gokulam. "We are proud to be a cradle of dreams for underprivileged students. With committed staff and community support, we aim to continue this legacy of empowerment," said Vani Prasad. Due to a lack of teachers to teach special schoolchildren, Mathru Mandali is also planning to start a one-year Diploma in Special Education and a six-month teachers training for kindergarten. Rameshwari Verma, honorary president, Vijayalakshmi Urs, president, Hema Balachandran, assistant secretary, and Vijayalakshmi Muralidhar, treasurer, were also present.

Author Prajwal Parajuly discovers that happiness in Sri City begins with a functioning kitchen
They were in the building hallways and the university shuttle, guffawing harder than anyone else. I saw them at the neighbourhood park — smug individuals who seemed better fed and better rested than all of humankind. And they chattered beatifically at Dhanush, the town supermarket, as though they had spent a week at a retreat getting their chakras aligned. I was in a different place. It didn't help matters that resuming life in Sri City after six months away was proving to be more adventurous than I had bargained for. Surely I hadn't glamourised things here while I was gone? I arrived home from New York to discover that my tiny bookshelf — a ghastly gray-and-white rectangle attached to the upper half of my living-room wall — had crashed to the ground. I had time and again let the authorities know that the damp from the winter monsoons had refused to leave even after the rains retreated. Was it any wonder, then, that a bookshelf had collapsed and its glass shattered? Then there was the kitchen. When you try infusing life into your apartment after it has stayed empty for a while, you deal with spluttering taps, rusted utensils and the resurfacing of long-gone insects. The revolving trio of housekeepers that Krea University sends do a good job with sweeping and mopping but aren't expected to touch the cabinets, counters, and fridge. I'd have to clean everything myself. I'd spend half a day getting rid of obstinate stains in the fridge when I should have been drafting my syllabus. To reward myself for morphing into Martha Stewart, I decided on a protein shake. The blender wouldn't start. I took that as a sign to abandon this half-hearted embrace of housework and proceeded to eat a block of cheese. So, yes, the happy faces of my colleagues taunted me. I did not remember them smiling so much. Not at last year's poker session at my place, which perhaps had more PhDs than any other game in the world. Nor at Aroma, the only restaurant for miles that has a liquor licence even if the food is multi-cuisine, that obnoxious euphemism a dead giveaway that nothing you eat will be too special. I noticed an easy swagger in my colleagues' gait on campus, too. Before class and after class, before seminars and after seminars. And was that a smile I gauged at a departmental meeting? No one had any business being this content. There had to be a reason behind it. My colleagues, you see, had a hired a cook. House help is notoriously difficult to find around Sri City. It's only a matter of time, friends would say. Every search — and indeed I had put forth many — had resulted in a dead end. When I was away, though, a colleague had fortuitously come across someone looking for a job. Soon, three other Krea people in the building hired Rajeshwari. Rajeshwari spoke some English, cleaned the kitchen after cooking and could be convinced to shop for your vegetables, the happy colleagues said. I employed her without an interview. When my new hire first saw the kitchen, she clucked. The knives weren't suited to chopping sturdy vegetables. She said she wouldn't be able to cook without a pressure cooker. Like a chastened schoolboy, I immediately bought one. She said I had spent too much money on it. Rajeshwari is not a big fan of my induction stove but hasn't said so. She finds the absence of a dish rack bizarre. She was resourceful enough to repurpose into a kitchen mat the carton in which the fridge came. When I forbade her from washing and reusing paper towels, she said 'waste, waste' and laughed. Colleagues had warned me that I should tell Rajeshwari to go easy on the salt. And the oil. And the spices. She quickly realised that I liked my piquancy to come from green chillies and not from masala. My boiled eggs are perfectly peeled. My chicken never has that gross taste often boasted by chicken refrigerated overnight. There's the all-pervasive smell of food in the apartment, which is taking some getting used to. Rajeshwari has rearranged the fridge, and I now have three empty shelves. Dishes dry on kitchen towels on the counter. The dining table is disinfected, sprayed and sparkled. The university administration has finally convinced the landlord to paint over the damp-damaged wall. I, too, like my colleagues, have an inane grin plastered on my face. I am now ready to have people over. They will drink exquisitely awful red wine. They will eat Rajeshwari's food. They will play poker. They will ignore the bookshelf, which is still on the floor. Its glass has still not been mended. Prajwal Parajuly is the author of The Gurkha's Daughter and Land Where I Flee. He loves idli, loathes naan, and is indifferent to coffee. He teaches Creative Writing at Krea University and oscillates between New York City and Sri City.
