It is an unusual marksheet, extending over four times a normal A4 sheet. The CBSE Std X marksheet finally arrived at a handful of schools in the city about five weeks after declaration of results. The remaining schools are expected to get it by Wednesday. The marksheet is so large it has to be folded a number of times before being put in a special folder for safekeeping.
Kana Roychaudhari, principal of Centre Point school (Katol Road), said, "We have sent messages to our students to come and collect the marksheet. Some have already done so and by tomorrow the others should arrive as well. The marksheet we have got is of Std X only. As specified by the CBSE there is no difference between the marksheet of school-evaluated and board-evaluated students."
Parents were earlier told that the marksheet would be a combined one for both Std IX and X. There is no clarity when the marksheet for Std IX will be handed over to students and whether it will be in the same format or not. CBSE PRO did not respond to calls about this.
In Nagpur, the centralized admission committee (CAC) had earlier decided to accept forms from school-evaluated students on July 6 and 7. Since there was no final decision taken during today's meeting between CBSE chairman Vineet Joshi and State school education secretary Sumit Mullick, the CAC too postponed its decision.
Mahesh Karajgaonkar, deputy director (education), said, "Yes, we were going to start accepting their forms from Wednesday. I know there was a meeting held between CBSE and state officials today. I will wait till an official communication comes on how to deal with the school-evaluated students. Hence we have decided to postpone the form collection for another two days. Nagpur CAC cannot move unilaterally, the decision of the state will be binding."
The Aggrieved Parents' Forum (APF), an association of parents whose children took school-evaluated exam, claim they have been cheated by all parties. Manjot Singh, spokesperson for APF, said, "Again due to highhandedness of both CBSE and state, again there is uncertainty regarding collection of our forms. We were promised by Karajgaonkar that he will collect our forms after the CAP is over. I would urge him to accept the forms and don't play with the future of our wards. Why should our kids suffer in this tug of war between state and CBSE?"
Singh further added that the APF had decided to take legal action but was waiting because of "promises made by school and State". "But now we find ourselves back to square one. If by the weekend our problems are not sorted out, we will take legal action," said Singh.
