Summary:
Kolkata: The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education (WBBSE) has instructed all examiners who will evaluate answer scripts of Madhyamik examination to mention in short the reason for deduction of marks in a particular answer to a question of an examinee. When they are shown the answer scripts often they seek an explanation on why marks have been deducted in his/ her answer to a particular question. "We are hopeful that this move will bring more transparency in the evaluation of the answer scripts," the official said. However, the new merit list of the Madhyamik examination had 64 candidates with ranks up to 11 instead of 10. "We have instructed the examiners to check and recheck answer scripts and also be extra cautious during tabulation of marks," the official maintained..
