Bhubaneswar, June 3: A day after violence, the Council of Higher Secondary Education here continued to wear a tense look today with students queuing up at the office to apply for rechecking of answersheets.

The council office had witnessed violent protests against faulty evaluation of Plus Two answer sheets yesterday, forcing the police to resort to a mild lathicharge.

The officials said that the landline numbers of the council 0674-2300907 and 0674-2300903 had been dedicated to receive complaints of the students.

“We have applied for a toll-free number and hopefully we will get it in a day or two. Students can then continue to register their complaints there,” said council chairman Basudev Chhatoi adding that the council was preparing a report sought by higher education minister Pradeep Kumar Panigrahi.

Chattoi said that complaints serious in nature would be registered through phone.

“Serious cases such as the ones in which the student has scored 80-90 per cent in most subjects and fetched single digit marks in a few others, will be dealt with immediate effect. These complaints will be registered and revised marks will be announced in 48 hours,” Chattoi said.

The remaining students have been asked to apply for re-addition according to the process, he said.

Students complained that the phone numbers were not working.

Braving the scorching heat, students waited for their turn to get the forms, fill it up and submit it.

“The heat is terrible and they haven’t even made any arrangements of water or provision of shade. We are completely dependent on the shops nearby,” Monika Behera, a student said.

Student organisations such as AIDSO demonstrated before the council office demanding an inquiry into erroneous markings.

Stating that faulty evaluation is the reason for suicides among students, AIDSO activists demanded compensation for the mental torture inflicted upon the students.

The police personnel remained posted on the campus till late evening to thwart any untoward incident.

Students who got their results on Saturday have alleged that despite having secured first division, they had received single digit marks in some subjects.

Erroneous evaluation was reported in subjects such as physics, chemistry and mathematics.
