Gurgaon: Private school bodies in Haryana have raised serious concerns over disparities in CBSE board scores, questioning the fairness and transparency of the evaluation process. The Haryana Progressive Schools Conference (HPSC) has written to Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, seeking clarification on issues that are impacting students beyond the state's boundaries.
Wide Gap in Pass Percentages
At the core of the concern is a stark gap in results, with pass percentages in Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVs) standing at 99.7%, compared with around 84% in CBSE-affiliated private schools. Schools in Gurgaon reported that several students who performed consistently well in internal assessments and pre-board examinations received unexpectedly low marks in the board results. They argue that such inconsistencies, seen as part of a broader national pattern, have affected students' morale and raised questions about the objectivity of marking and moderation processes.
HPSC's Stance
State president of HPSC Suresh Chander said that while the performance of private schools is within an acceptable range, the exceptionally high pass percentage of KVs is difficult to reconcile. "CBSE schools scoring around 84% is not an issue, but KVs recording pass percentages as high as 98.5% is simply not digestible. Such a wide gap calls into question the uniformity and fairness of the evaluation process," he said. He pointed out that social media discussions and viral reels have amplified worries about the quality of answer-sheet evaluation, with allegations that papers may have been checked by inadequately trained evaluators, adding to doubts over transparency in the system.
