The following note was sent by me to the HRD Minister via the ministry's own portal.
Thanks for your congratulatory letter. However, please
allow me to draw your kind attention to the anomalies in the evaluation system
used by CBSE. As many as 17 of the examinees, who took English Core (Code 301)
exam this year, were awarded full marks. As an English teacher, it makes my
heart ache to see the extent to which CBSE has diluted and degraded marking and
evaluation standards. To illustrate my point, please take a look at the model
answer script of English Core of 2013 exam, marked and evaluated by CBSE and
available on their public portal: http://cbse.nic.in/curric~1/Ansbook2013/XII/English.pdf
I affirm that there are several errors in this so-called
model answer paper warranting taking off marks and I suspect the same is true
about the aforesaid this year’s 17 papers awarded 100 out of 100.
Please send these 18 papers to the
English and Foreign Languages University in Hyderabad or to a great ELT expert,
Prof Rama Mathew, Dean of the Faculty of Education, Delhi University to check
the veracity of my perception.
With regards
H P Singh
