Hundreds of CBSE Class 12 students who applied for revaluation have received a welcome boost in their scores, with several schools in Bengaluru reporting mark increases for almost all applicants.

The revised results have come as a major relief for students concerned about college admissions, scholarships and competitive examination eligibility.

Significant jump in scores

One of the most notable cases is that of Sarayu Sony, a student of Sri Sri Ravishankar Vidya Mandir, Bengaluru, whose English score increased by 21 marks following revaluation.

Her marks rose from 72 to 93 after she reviewed her answer script and identified what she believed were gaps in evaluation and under-awarded responses.

Sarayu said the revised score would play an important role in college admissions and scholarship opportunities.

Schools report widespread increases

School administrators across Bengaluru said many students received higher marks after revaluation.

At National Public School, Yeshwantpur, principal Sheeja Manoj said several high-performing students secured the scores they had expected. According to her, some students received full marks in English after revaluation, while others came close to perfect scores.

Delhi Public School East principal Manila Carvelho said one student’s Economics marks increased from 79 to 93, while several others achieved centum scores after the review process.

Relief for students and parents

Delhi Public School North principal Manju Balasubramanyam said most students who sought revaluation recorded improvements, with average increases ranging from seven to nine marks and some seeing gains of up to 15 marks.

However, students who had raised concerns regarding handwriting mismatches are reportedly still awaiting the outcome of their cases.

Evaluation system under scrutiny

The revaluation results come amid concerns surrounding this year’s CBSE evaluation process, which saw physical evaluation replaced by on-screen marking.

The board recently announced the release of revaluation results for around 87 per cent of applicants, bringing relief to many students who felt their original scores did not accurately reflect their performance.

The outcome has also renewed discussions on the need for robust evaluation mechanisms to ensure fairness and accuracy in board examinations.
