After months of sleepless nights, Sushmita Kori was ecstatic to learn that she had actually scored 65 marks in a subject that she had ‘failed’ earlier. Now Kori must fight a new battle: getting admission to the college of her choice, as seats in most city colleges have been filled.
When the HSC results were declared on May 25, Kori a student of RD National College, Bandra, was declared eligible for re-exam. As per her mark sheet, she had scored only 18 out of 100 in Book Keeping and Accountancy, a core subject. On June 6, Kori applied for the verification of her marks. However, the board replied to her, saying that her results were correct according to the evaluation of her answer paper. “After I applied for revaluation, I received the state board`s reply on June 23 that the marks were correct. This was disheartening, and the very idea that I failed was not seeping into my mind. I was sure about what I wrote and it was not possible that I had failed,” Kori told mid-day.
