Not only did the result was better than the last year, even though marginally (0.39 per cent), but also, it was declared in record time. The exams concluded on March 4 and the result was declared on May 2, 2019. While this, 28 days, is a new record for the CBSE, the board aims to keep this as a standard practice. The HRD Minister also congratulated CBSE for declaring result in record time

Talking to indianexpress.com, CBSE secretary Anurag Tripathy said, “We have released the result in record time. This year we have enrolled more than 2 lakh teachers in the evaluation process at different stages. Special training was given to them as well. With more involvement of technology in the evaluation, examination and assessment process the aim is to finish the board exams evaluation and also declare results within the 30 days of completion of the exams each year.”

Tech-initiatives by CBSE

CBSE chairperson, Anita Karwal, credited this feat to technological advancement used by CBSE in their examination and evaluation process this year. CBSE used a mobile-based application called Confidential Material Tracking and Monitoring (CMTM) app which sent geo-tagged and time-tagged pictures of exam day processes to centre supervisors, board executives and other people concerned. It also encrypted question papers, also opted fro TETRA — theory evaluation trend analysis — a system which facilitates real-time evaluation monitoring and also allows trend analysis and visualisation of scoring patterns by students in different regions, cities and across different sets.

The board has been more prudent about the result this year because it was left red-faced last year as reports of several exams being leaked surfaced and class 12 economics and class 10 mathematics question papers were confirmed to be compromised. This year too, many videos claiming that CBSE class 10 and class 12 question papers have been leaked went viral on social media. The board had filed FIR against the channels claiming to have original question papers of class 12 accountancy, chemistry, English and class 10 mathematics and science papers but no truth was found in the claims by the YouTube channels.

Errors that happened in CBSE Boards 2019

While there were no leaks reported, the result this year could not be error-free. Multiple ‘printing errors’ were reported by students in class 12 accountancy exam conducted on March 6 (Wednesday). In the set number three, question number 13 erroneously states revaluation account as realisation account. There were reportedly missing entry in Hindi translations in some of the questions while the same were there in English questions.

A six marks question in class 12 mathematics exam asked students to find two questions in Hindi and English translation, leading to confusion. The question number 26 in set 2 asked students to find the area ‘above’ the x-axis in English while in the same set the Hindi translation asked students to find the area ‘around’ X-axis.

While there were no errors reported in Class 12 Physics exam, several students expressed dissatisfaction. Students and teachers have rated Physics as the toughest paper, which was conducted on March 5, and are raising requests for lenient marking.

CBSE’s take on anomalies

CBSE appointed a committee to check anomalies. The CBSE informed indianexpress.com that a committee will sit for every exam and discuss question papers. If any anomaly is found then students will be compensated which can also include grace marks and lenient checking.

Special instructions were introduced for CBSE class 12 mathematics exam when evaluators received a circular contends that a six-mark question from linear programming chapter could be perceived in two different ways, leading to two different results, which is why students should be awarded full marks.

The CBSE, in its corrigendum released on March 30, directed the evaluators to follow a separate marking scheme for question number 29 (set 1 and 2), question 27 (set 3)
