According to a circular issued by Sanyam Bhardwaj, Controller of Examinations, CBSE, on Monday, it is meant to eliminate totalling errors, enable faster evaluation, and allow teachers to remain in their schools and continue their regular duties.
The digital evaluation system is also expected to eliminate the need for post-result mark verification and will allow all schools to contribute to the evaluation process, with teachers from all affiliated schools involved.
