CBSE Class 12 Marks Inflated Again, Claim Data Analysts

One of the data analysts claimed that the Central Board of Secondary Education or CBSE has not kept its promise of discontinuing the practice of inflating Class 12 results. An electrical engineer from Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur, Mr. Bhattacharya pointed that the results of around 25,000 students from 300 schools in Rajasthan and Gujarat indicate distortion.

Mr. Battacharya had made the similar kind of analysis in the year 2013 and pointed that CBSE and ICSE misused the moderation policy to inflate the marks of their students. With the policy of CBSE, a high number of students secured 95 percent in Class 12.

Explaining about the previous year scenario, Mr. Bhattacharya mentioned that CBSE had awarded 16 additional marks in Mathematics, and the students securing 90-95 percent were high.
