BHUBANESWAR: As demonstration by students continued for the second consecutive day over discrepancies in Class-XII results by Central Board of Secondary Education ( CBSE ), Odisha chief minister Naveen Patnaik on Tuesday sought intervention of Union HRD minister Prakash Javadekar.The affected students and their parents have been protesting outside the CBSE office in Bhubaneswar.In a letter to Javadekar, the chief minister requested the Union minister to direct the CBSE authorities to rectify the situation. "Many students and parents were shocked at the manner in which the result was published on May 28. Initially, results of thousands of students of Bhubaneswar zone were shown as withheld on the CBSE website,” Naveen said, adding, this caused inconvenience to many students and their parents.The chief minister said trouble of the students doubled after a lot of discrepancies had been reported in the subject-wise results of many students.“It is noticed that some bright students have got very low or even single digit marks in certain subjects, whereas they have secured very high marks in other subjects. There are apparent deficiencies in the subject-wise mark sheets,” Naveen noted.Stating that the students and their parents are going through immense emotional trauma, Naveen said, “Unless immediate action is taken for proper re-evaluation of the answer sheets of the affected students, these students would be deprived from getting admission in the colleges across the countryMeanwhile, Union petroleum minister Dharmendra Pradhan also urged intervention of the Union HRD minister over the issue after a group of students met him here on Tuesday. “Met Class 12th CBSE Students & requested Union HRD Minister @PrakashJavdekar ji to intervene in the alleged discrepancies in the results,” Dharmendra tweeted.
