HPBOSE will re-evaluate Class 12 English exam papers due to incorrect answer keys. Revised results will be announced soon.

The Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBOSE) will re-evaluate Class 12 English exam papers using the correct answer keys, following a “human error” that affected the marks compilation, officials announced on Wednesday.

The original English exam, held on March 8, was rescheduled to March 29 after a mix-up at Government Senior Secondary School in Chowari, Chamba district, where staff accidentally opened the Class 12 question paper a day early—mistaking it for the Class 10 paper on March 7.

After the Class 12 results were declared on Saturday, HPBOSE received numerous complaints from students who had scored unexpectedly low marks in English.

The issue was brought to the board’s attention by the Himachal Pradesh Government Teachers Union (HPGTU) and private school associations. In response, Education Minister Rohit Thakur directed the board to investigate the matter and take corrective measures.

An internal inquiry revealed that incorrect answer keys from the cancelled exam were mistakenly used, leading to widespread discrepancies in marks, according to HPBOSE Secretary Vishal Sharma.

Admitting the error, the board confirmed that the affected answer sheets would be re-evaluated. Only upward revisions will be made—no student’s marks will be reduced. The revised results will be announced soon.
