HYDERABAD: The results of Intermediate examinations will be released before April 25 and efforts were on in that direction.
Board of Intermediate Education (BIE) Secretary G. Balaramaiah assured parents that all steps have been taken for fair valuation and one need not have any doubts.
The number scripts to be revalued by the chief examiner have been reduced to 15 from 24.
15 scripts per session
Similarly, examiners will get only 15 scripts only per session. The number of scripts to be scrutinised by the scrutinizer have also been reduced to 150 from 180. A second scrutinizer has also been appointed to check the scrutinised scripts. These measures, he felt will reduce on pressure on the examiners.
This year 1.7 crore scripts will be valued by more than 42,000 examiners at various levels. Mr. Balaramaiah said that the government is contemplating to take stern disciplinary action on erring examiners as per CCA rules in case of Government, Aided and A.P. Residential College lecturers and criminal proceedings in case of private college lecturers and managements. Valuation will be done in three spells at 24 different spot valuation camps.
Separate exam
With regard to scripts damaged in an accident, he said 24 OMR sheets were found damaged and the students have also been identified. A separate exam would be held for those 24 students.
