HYDERABAD : Due to the goof- ups in Inter evalua- tion, the Board has allowed all students another chance to apply for re-verification till July 6 and decided to take action on 1,000 lecturers.
As many as 4,000 June 28: As many as 4,000 students were given lesser marks in the intermediate public exams held in March this year by negligent evaluators.

While 3,000 students were awarded 1 to 5 marks less than they secured, another 1,000 students were awarded 6 to 10 marks less than they actually got.

Of the total 20,000 students who applied for reverification of their answer scripts, 16,000 were found to have got the marks they deserved.

The Board of Intermediate Education had earlier confessed that a student who was awarded ‘zero marks’ in economics paper got 75 marks after re-verification, creating uproar among students and parents.
