Bihar Board results: Students again allege discrepancy in result

Patna: Students of Bihar School Examination Board (BSEB) on Saturday again alleged discrepancy in checking of their examination papers, two days after they were lathi-charged while protesting over the same issue outside the board’s office in Patna.

The intermediate students claimed that they have been given one or two marks out of 100 in Physics and Chemistry even when they have cleared IIT-JEE (Mains).

Alleging discrepancy, hundreds of students were lathi-charged by the police when they were protesting outside the BSEB’s office on June 7.

While many claimed that they have got marks much below their expectations, there are those also who said they have been given marks in excess of the maximum marks.

“I was given 68 on 50 marks in English theory and 38 marks on 35 in Physics theory,” one of the students said.

The students are now demanding that their answer sheets be rechecked or the board again conducts the exams.

Over eight lakh of 12 lakh students, who had appeared for the Class XII exams conducted by the BSEB, have failed this year, leading to anger and distress among students. The results were declared last week. (ANI)
