Five evaluators suspended for gross errors in evaluation of SSC Public Examination answer scripts in Andhra Pradesh
The Directorate of Government Examinations in Andhra Pradesh has suspended five evaluators for gross errors in evaluation of SSC Public Examination-2025 answer scripts. The Department has received a record number of 66,363 applications (scripts) from 34,709 students, out of the total 6,14,459 students who appeared for the examination. Of them, 64,251 are for reverification and 2,112 for recounting. In the wake of the serious errors, the government also proposes to modify the OMR design, starting from SSC 2026 to minimise counting errors. A statement issued by the Department said all the applications will be disposed of by the first week of June. Many students who aspire for admissions in the IIITs run by the Rajiv Gandhi University of Knowledge Technologies (RGUKT), Andhra Pradesh, have missed the deadline, as the RGUKT admission notice was issued on April 24, 2025, with the application window closing on May 20, 2025. Since the re-evaluation results will be finalised by June 1, many students with revised higher marks are likely to miss the deadline. To ensure justice to them, the Department proposes to formally request RGUKT to open a special reapplication window from June 5 to June 10, 2025 to allow eligible student to reapply with corrected marks sheets. The issues detected in the revaluation round include instances where one or more columns may have been overlooked during calculation of total marks, occasional errors in transferring awarded marks accurately to the OMR sheets and some scripts containing responses that were either left unmarked or inadvertently awarded zero. The existing three-tier supervision mechanism did not fully detect or prevent these inconsistencies, thus contributing to the errors. A total number of 45,96,527 SSC answer scripts were evaluated this year by 16,482 Assistant Examiners, 5,494 Special Assistants and 2,747 Chief Examiners, 40 scripts per day per Assistant Examiner. Under recounting process, for which a fee of ₹500 is collected, the examiner verifies whether the marks awarded for each question in the answer script are accurately transcribed onto the corresponding OMR sheet and all marks recorded on the OMR sheet are totalled and cross-verified against the marks awarded in the script. If any awarded mark is missing on the OMR sheet, the examiner enters the missing mark appropriately and in case of discrepancies in the total, the examiner is authorised to correct the total marks on the OMR sheet and record the accurate marks. Under reverification (Fee: ₹1,000), the examiner verifies the answer script and may award or modify marks if no marks are awarded to a correct answer, if zero marks are awarded to a correct answer or if any error is observed in counting or tallying the total marks. No photocopy is provided to the candidate under recounting, while under reverification, a photocopy of the evaluated script is uploaded to the candidate's portal.

Over 10,000 SSC answer scripts found with errors after reverification in Andhra Pradesh
VIJAYAWADA: Exposing serious lapses in evaluation, errors were found in 11,175 scripts involving 10,159 students after the reverification and recounting process of the SSC Public Examinations held in March 2025. The School Education Department had received a record 66,363 applications - 64,251 for reverification and 2,112 for recounting—from 34,709 of the 6,14,459 students who appeared for the exam. Recounting resulted in just 308 changes, while reverification led to 10,867 corrections, marking an 18% change rate among reviewed cases. However, gross negligence was reported in a few instances, calculated at 0.00006%. Most discrepancies stemmed from missed entries in total mark calculations or transcription errors on OMR sheets. In a first for over a decade, the department suspended five evaluators for negligence. The suspended staff reportedly failed to detect errors despite mandatory checks by Assistant Examiners, Special Assistants and Chief Examiners under the three-tier supervision system.
