Faridkot, February 15

To enhance standards of marking system in school board exams and increase operational efficiency, School Education Department in the state is adopting a new online marking system for Class X and XII examinations of the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB).

The Class 10 examinations are set to commence from March 12 and will conclude on March 31.

The examinations for Class 12 will begin from February 28 and end March 24.

Instead of papers being marked in the traditional way at the exam centres and teachers preparing the award lists of the students’ answer scripts manually and sending these further to the PSEB office at Mohali, this time the teachers will make entry of the marks obtained by each student online while using a special online marks entry app.

The School Education Department has started special training for the teachers to acquaint them with the new app and its use, starting February 19 at all Edusat Centres in the state.

Besides smoothening the preparation of the award lists, the other benefit of this computerised approach is that the marking scheme for a paper is built into the software, which eliminates, or at least minimises, the possibility of an incorrect mark, said sources.
