DNA: Mumbai: Wednesday, June 06, 2018.
Days after
State Information Commission (SIC) in a landmark order directed the Maharashtra
State Board of Technical Education (MSBTE) to provide answer sheet to a parent,
it has come to light that the student got fewer marks in one paper solely due
to totalling mistake.
Anis Khan, a
parent, had approached the SIC after the total score had fallen in the diploma
exams post re-assessment. Khan and his son had expected the marks to jump by
three per cent. Some teachers had told them the same, claimed Khan.
When Khan
sought a copy of the answer sheet after re-assessment, he was told that it
cannot be provided because had already been given to him once, and it can not
be given for the second time. The SIC had directed the board to provide the
answer sheet and revisit its rules in the light of the RTI Act and SC order.
Khan now
wants to take the case to higher authorities. "How can they be so callous
in giving marks? Students feel so let down when they do not get good
marks," said Khan.
When DNA
tried contacting the MSBTE officials, they were unavailable to comment.
