In the SEE results, the student with symbol number ‘02910767 O’ got 3.6 and 2.4 GPA in science and social studies. When he re-calculated his results, he got 4 out of 4 in both subjects.
The student with symbol number ‘00404772 D’ got 2.4 GPA in English. When he applied for re-calculation, the result changed and the GPA remained at 4. The student with symbol number ‘85900017 U’, who failed/ungraded by scoring ‘zero/NG’ marks in English, had his result changed to 2 GPA in the re-calculation.
Dissatisfied with the results released by the National Examination Board, 33,851 students applied for re-calculation. It has been found that the results of more than 5 percent of the students changed due to the negligence of teachers and the board. The students had applied online for re-verification by paying a fee of Rs 500. Of the students whose results improved, it was found that the teachers had made a mistake in adding the marks in the answer sheets of most of the students.
‘It was found that the teachers had missed adding the marks of the students in the answer sheets. There were also cases where only 7 marks were entered for a student who had scored 70 marks while entering,’ said Examination Controller Tukraj Adhikari.
An employee who participated in the re-verification said that even though the answer sheets had scored 68 marks, only 32 were given due to missing or making a mistake. Even though some students had scored marks, the result was recorded as NG when entering.
This year, the number of students applying with high hopes for the results had increased due to the fact that the answer sheets were checked in the school itself. Last year, 27,317 people applied for re-verification, while this year, nearly 34,000 people have applied. The number of errors has also increased this time, the examination controller said.
In previous years, errors of 3 to 4 percent were found in the results. Till Wednesday, the results of the re-aggregation of 27,654 students have been released. Of these, 1,559 have changed their results. That is, 5.63 percent of the students have changed their results in the re-aggregation.
The results show that most of the students have increased their grades due to the change in the results. The results of 6,534 students are yet to come. The board has stated that the re-aggregation results will be released before then as the grade enhancement test will be conducted from Asad 1 for students who got NG in the results.
The board employees say that the result publication is delayed and cumbersome as the answer sheets of more than 1,000 students who applied for re-aggregation have not been found. ‘The students have changed the examination center or the answer sheets have been in the envelope of another examination center,’ the board employee said, ‘The envelope containing the answer sheets of the examination center of each student who has applied for re-examination should be opened and checked.’
The board has been making the results of the re-examination public in phases. In the first phase, the results of 307 out of 5,406 applications were changed. In the second phase, the results of 232 out of 4,306 were found to have changed. When the results of the re-examination of 5,175 were made public for the third time, the results of 262 were found to have changed. The board had published the results of 9,156 re-examinations in the fourth time. Of which 522 were changed. In the fifth phase, the results of 3,611 results were re-examined, and 236 results were changed.
Employees say that these changes include adding numbers after checking the answer sheet, writing numbers on the cover from inside to outside the answer sheet, and entering marks on the mark slip and computer.
Even though there is an arrangement for checking to avoid errors, the number has not decreased. If students are not satisfied with the results, the board has made arrangements to have them rechecked, view the answer sheet and retest. If they are not satisfied with the rechecking, students can view the answer sheet and have them rechecked.
In the SEE results released on April 29, 61.81 percent of students passed. Out of 430,667 candidates who participated in the regular examination, 284,000 students passed while 146,507 failed.
