In Tamil Nadu, students who score centum in the Class X and XII state board exams will now be subject to enhanced scrutiny. This decision comes after a review meeting prompted by reports of a significant number of centum scores in Chemistry and Mathematics from select exam centers in Cuddalore and Villupuram districts. The school education department has instructed that all centum papers undergo a re-examination process at the respective evaluation offices, with camp officers responsible for signing the answer sheets to confirm the multiple levels of scrutiny involved. K Sasikala, the Director of Government Exams, clarified that this measure is meant to strengthen existing evaluation practices and is not a reaction to any specific controversy. However, some school heads argue that the department should appoint chief examiners for each subject to ensure accurate grading, as current practices may not adequately address potential errors in assessment.
