Recounting of SSC answer sheets reveal evaluation lapses in over 11,000 papers in Andhra Pradesh
Visakhapatnam: The revaluation/recounting process of class X (SSC) answer sheets, initiated by the Andhra Pradesh school education department, has preliminarily uncovered discrepancies in the evaluation of as many as 11,175 papers. Marks were increased between one to five in 8,863 papers and between six and 10 in 1,506 papers. More than 10 marks were increased in the remaining papers. The corrections reported so far have highlighted significant shortcomings in the evaluation process. Consequently, several students have already reported improved marks and, in some cases, have passed the examinations as a result of the recounting and re-evaluation. According to officials, a total of 64,251 applications for reverification and 2,112 for recounting were received from 34,709 students. The results for 47,484 of these scripts were released on May 16, and the official announcement regarding the release of remaining revaluation marks is yet to be made. This issue came to public attention after a meritorious student from Bapatla district was declared failed in the examiniation. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Writing in English Doesn't Have to Feel Hard Grammarly Learn More Undo Emani Tejaswini, who studied at ZP high school in Kolluru of Bapatla district, scored an average of 95 marks out of 100 in five out of six subjects. She was initially awarded only 23 marks in social studies, and was declared to have failed the examinations. Her parents and teachers were shocked. However, upon re-evaluation, her marks in social studies were corrected to 96, raising her total to 575 (out of 600). Initially, Emani's parents expressed concern that, due to these developments, they had missed the deadline (May 20) to apply for the IIIT programme. However, govt later clarified that students who were unable to apply due to recounting-related issues would be allowed to submit their applications along with their revised mark sheets. Dr KV Srinivasulu Reddy, director of govt examinations department, said that a preliminary investigation revealed that these errors occurred as a result of the omission of one or more rows in the four-row marks entry method used during this year's evaluation. "Students will be allowed to submit their applications to the IIIT programme with the revised mark memos. The department is taking this matter seriously, and disciplinary action is being initiated against the assistant examiners and special assistants found responsible for these errors," he said. Chief minister N Chandrababu Naidu expressed his dissatisfaction over the error, which caused undue distress among several students. He instructed the relevant departmental officials to ensure that affected students do not face any obstacles in getting admission to intermediate courses. "Strict action must be taken against the officials and staff responsible, and a detailed report should be submitted immediately. The need of the hour is systemic reform to prevent the recurrence of such incidents in the future," Naidu said. Former education minister and opposition leader in the Legislative Council, Botsa Satyanarayana, said that several students who had been declared to have failed the SSC exams, ended up receiving up to 90 marks after applying for reverification. "Have we ever seen such a situation before? As many as 66,000 applications came for re-evaluation/reverification of answer sheets. This clearly indicates that the evaluation was carried out with utter negligence," he added.

Cardi B Demands Any Talk of Her Working as Stripper, Past Gang Ties Be Banned From Assault Trial
Cardi B asked a judge to ban any talk of her past as an exotic dancer or any alleged incidents involving drugs as part of an upcoming court trial, In Touch can exclusively report. Cardi, 32, and a female security guard named Emani Ellis are in the middle of an ugly court war. The trial is scheduled to begin on May 12. Emani sued the entertainer in 2020 over an alleged incident at a medical office in Beverly Hills. The alleged incident took place on February 24, 2018. In her lawsuit, Emani claimed she walked up to Cardi, which allegedly led to the rapper striking her in the face, head and body. She claimed Cardi used her 'long fingernails and sharp objects' to cause an injury on her face. Emani claimed Cardi also spit on her and used 'multiple profanities and racial slurs against [Ellis] who is African American.' The security guard claimed Cardi and her team called her bosses, and used her 'celebrity status" to get her fired from her job at the medical building. Emani's lawsuit demanded unspecified damages. Cardi denied all allegations of wrongdoing or that she ever touched Emani. She said any actions on her part were done in self-defense. In her recent filing, Cardi demanded the court not allow certain topics from being discussed in front of the jury at the trial. Cardi said the jury should not hear about alleged altercations between her and third parties not associated with the case, any criminal charges or police reports filed against her, incidents in which she uttered obscenities, either in her music or at others or police investigations concerning her. In addition, Cardi said the jury should not hear about any alleged incidents involving her and drugs or drug use, her past as an exotic dancer or any former association with a gang or gang members during her youth or other media reports about her and other lawsuits filed against her by third parties. In 2018, Cardi opened up to GQ that she was a member of the "Blood" gang as a kid but advised young kids against doing the same. Cardi said she believed Emani planned to prejudice the jury by bringing up the topics to 'divert attention from' her 'frivolous claims.' In her motion, Cardi argued that if the topics were discussed during the jury it would cause her harm. Her lawyer said, 'There is a serious danger that the jury will believe, based largely on hearsay evidence, that because [Cardi] has been alleged to have acted in a certain manner at a different time and place involving different people, she committed the acts alleged by [Emani], or that the jury will conclude that [Cardi] is a 'bad person' and seek to improperly punish her on that basis.' A judge has yet to rule. In her filing, Cardi said the lawsuit is over an alleged 60-90 second encounter on a single occasion. She said she was pregnant at the time and had not publicly disclosed her pregnancy to the world. Her lawyer provided new details of the incident. Cardi's lawyer wrote, '[Cardi] was visiting her obstetrician's office in a medical building where [Emani] was employed as a security guard. In the hallway outside [Cardi's] obstetrician's office, [Emani] started filming [Cardi] and speaking to someone on the phone about her. [Cardi] asked her to put her phone away because [Cardi's] pregnancy had not been made public yet." The attorney added, "The incident escalated into a verbal argument. [Cardi] denies touching [Emani], but [Emani] alleges that during the brief verbal altercation, [Cardi] yelled at her, spit on her, and [Emani] was scratched by [Cardi's] fingernail, which is strenuously disputed.' The rapper pointed out Emani did not see a medical professional for the scratch until four and a half years after the incident. Cardi also claimed the 'scar' on Emani's face is not visible. For her part, Emani claimed the incident not only caused her physical injury, but said she also deals with emotional and psychological damage.
