Subhankar Chowdhury   |   TT  |  Calcutta   |  26.06.21 : The state secondary education board has allowed a one-day window, from June 27 to 28, to schools that have committed errors while submitting marks of Class IX exams to enter the correct marks.

The West Bengal Board of Secondary Education created a website for submission of Class IX marks to arrive at the final scores of the Madhyamik 2021 candidates and warned schools against any “discrepancy” in the marks entered in the website.

The heads of the institutions have been asked to open https://www.wbbsedata.com on and from June 21 and submit the subject-wise marks by June 24.

About 600 schools submitted erroneous marks.

A notice signed by Kalyanmoy Ganguly, the board’s president, says: “This is to notify to the schools who requested the board for resubmission of marks of Class IX due to wrong submission of marks, the board has decided to open the same website from 11am June 27 to 11am June 28. If any discrepancy occurs during resubmitting of marks, no such window will be opened further…. Any discrepancy/tampering found in the marks register as well as in the submitted marks in the website shall lead to action as per rule.”

An official of the board said the schools after submission of marks detected the errors on their own. “Many schools added the marks in the Class X formative exams. There are instances of marks of one student being submitted against another. So, the schools that appealed for rectification have been allowed a day for resubmission.”
