The results of the Class-12 board exams were announced on Saturday, after which the HPBOSE received complaints from many students who secured less marks in English.
The matter was brought to the notice of the authorities by the Himachal Pradesh Government Teachers Union (HPGTU) and private school associations, prompting Education Minister Rohit Thakur to ask the board to probe the matter and take appropriate action.
The board initiated an inquiry, which found that wrong answer keys of the cancelled paper had been uploaded due to a “human error” that led to the discrepancies, HPBOSE secretary Vishal Sharma said.
Accepting the mistake, the board said the answer sheets of those who secured less marks will be re-evaluated and the marks would only be increased, and not cut, in the amended results to be declared soon. PTI BPL ARI
