There must be an error on the part of officials. Hope they must correct the marksheets soon. So don't be panicked, media will make CBSE act soon. Happy college days! http://ibnlive.in.com/news/cbse-results-visually-impaired-twins-whove-scored-above-85-in-other-subjects-given-zero-in-one/475649-3-244.html
Two visually impaired girls studying in the national capital have been given zero marks in one subject in their CBSE examination. Ironically they had scored between 85 and 95 marks in all other subjects. The CBSE has said that it is looking into the matter. This after questions are being raised as to whether the board went wrong. The long wait for the CBSE results ended with celebrations for most jubilant students and their parents, but the twins were in for a rude shock. Prachi and Pragya Mahajan, both of whom are visually impaired, were given zero marks in one subject. "It was very depressing. It's just not possible. We are shocked," Prachi said. The girls say school authorities didn't help them at all. "The Principal said we got compartment but they didn't act till we threatened to go to the media," Pragya said. Their family claims that they had to run from pillar to post to get authorities to allow them to write their exam on a computer. "I got no help from the school, I had to go to CBSE on my own and run around." their mother said. School authorities though rejected these charges. "The moment I got to know I wrote to the CBSE and asked them to intervene," said the school Principal Jyoti Bose. It was heartbreaking to see the marksheet. The family now not just wants the issue to be resolved but also a mechanism to be developed for the future so that others like them don't suffer. -- Avinash Shahi M.Phil Research Scholar Centre for The Study of Law and Governance Jawaharlal Nehru University New Delhi India Register at the dedicated AccessIndia list for discussing accessibility of mobile phones / Tabs on: http://mail.accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/mobile.accessindia_accessindia.org.in Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/accessindia@accessindia.org.in/ To unsubscribe send a message to accessindia-requ...@accessindia.org.in with the subject unsubscribe.
