Patna, July 1: The delay in the distribution of CBSE Class X marksheets has thrown the Plus Two admission process out of gear in some city schools. While a few educational institutions have completed the process by adopting different means, in others it is still in a limbo.

Sources said the continuous and comprehensive evaluation (CCE) system introduced this year is the cause of the delay. Under this system, the marks of all the exams, including internal tests, taken by a student in Class IX and Class X have to be printed on the marksheet. As the process involves taking care of a number of details, it has delayed the printing of marksheets.

Schools in Patna are not alone in this. No CBSE educational institute in the country has received the marksheets.

CBSE regional joint secretary S.U. Sorte told The Telegraph that the marksheets would be made available in seven to 10 days.

To take admission in a different school, a Class X passout has to produce a transfer certificate (TC) from the previous educational institution. However, the principal of the school cannot issue a TC unless the student produces the original marksheet.

Sources said one cannot rely on the printouts of the results published on the Internet, as fakes can be procured easily.

To avoid delay, some schools like DAV, Khagaul, are issuing provisional TCs.

“We are issuing provisional TCs on which are printed ‘results awaited’,” said D.K. Ghosh the principal of DAV, Khagaul. He added that it would help if the board authorities could guide the principals about how to go about admitting and releasing students without proper documents.

Some schools are taking students on the basis of the Internet results.

Ramanuj Prasad, the principal of DAV, BSEB, said: “We admitted students on the basis of the Internet results. Production of fake marksheet is rare.”

Another principal, on the condition of anonymity, said: “CBSE should have planned it out properly and completed the process on time.”

A student, on the condition of anonymity, said: “CBSE Class X result for the Patna region was announced on June 10. Twenty days have passed but we have not yet got our marksheets. The principal of our school said he cannot give the transfer certificates and we will have to wait. Later on, we got the TCs. It is sad that after working hard for the examination, we have to wait for the marksheet.”

Arunima Singh, a parent, said: “My husband had to waste hours just to convince the school principal that it is essential for us to get the TC. My daughter had to take admission in an educational institution outside Bihar.”
