Ajmer: RBSE's gift to 10th class students, facility of re-checking in mathematics, will start as a pilot project

Rajasthan Secondary Education board is going to provide a new facility to the students of 10th standard in the current year. The students who are not satisfied with the exam result would now be provided with the re-checking facility in mathematics subject. The board has done it as a pilot project and at the moment, the project is restricted to mathematics subject alone. Depending on the reaction of the students and the outcome of the project, the plan to implement the facility in other subjects in the future shall be considered.

It is worth noting that till now the board used to provide only re-totaling facility to the students. In the process of re-totalling, only the total of the marks given by the examiner in the answer sheet is recalculated. If any error is found in the calculation, it is corrected and revised marks are given and a new mark sheet is issued. In this process, only the mistake in addition is corrected, not the evaluation of the answer. In contrast, the process of re-checking is more comprehensive. In this, after the student objects to the exam result and applies, his answer sheet will be re-evaluated. During this, it will be seen whether all the questions have been evaluated correctly or not and if any answer has been given less or more marks, it will be corrected. After this, a revised mark sheet will be issued to the student.

Board Secretary Kailash Chandra Sharma said that this facility has been started on the instructions of the Education Minister. This is a pilot project and based on its success and the response of the students, it will be decided whether it should be continued in the coming years or not. It will also be seen whether the facility of re-checking can be implemented in other subjects as well.
