OSM UPDATE ?
so i spoke w a few teachers 2-3 .. and these are the things they told me (which might be generic but ill frame em better)
so first of we all know how the checkin is happening online where the teacher evaluates and enter the marks on the left hand side the marks awarded are according to the no. of steps done by the students that are present in the answer key (can be in own words as long as the meaning doesnt change)
so as of first april maths papers have been given to be evaluated followed by english as well so one of em was like the result will be in june since the checking going on is very slow but obviously not cause english has already started which means pcme is almost going to be done by mid april mostly and the marks are directly being exported in the marksheet so yea that
entering thing is not there anymore so results are expected during the usual time which is mid may.
Now coming to the second apart what is good here and whats bad here so techincally nothing theres nothing like GRACE MARKS because of osm , although yes moderation is provided for the sets which were hard and thats decided by the cbse team nd moderation applies to all the students who got that set but the doubt most had that it would be lenient bcs there s OSM then theres ur big NO , they are just checkin it the usual way adhering to the markin scheme but yes step marks are given (and for the ones who kept commenting stuff like "sirf given likh ke aaya hun/aayi hun" ..im sorry they wont be that considerate)
3rd thing : its still with the teachers whether to pass the student or not ...that provided you have actually put in efforts ... teachers are tryin to pass everyone who have a slight margin difference but like in manual checkin we had this thing that if a child
writes c c c in all mcqs teachers correct it for em and give em marks or redraw diagrams and lil here there writing they do for the students .. so just for a heads up NO MANIPULATION will be done with the papers this year .. they will give u marks based on whatever u have written
Now if yall are gonna ask me whats the safe score n all then 3-4 marks difference can be taken as safe score (provided that you actually wrote smtg), if you are getting in single digit or left the page blank no teacher can help
so if u have written revelant you still got hopes .. beacuse its not like teachers wont pass you .. but yes no manipulation this time w answer sheet.
4th point : This is kind of a insider the papers are going zonal wise .. so guwahati papers came to bangalore so earlier it used to not travel so far for evaluation but thru osm its better ... and yea the H.E usually have to go thru the papers of toppers and the ones below margin .. so there
H.E's also might help so teachers might make u get something near the pass mark if u have written too bad so that the H.E gives 1-2 marks n pass u.
5th point : Its very hard for the teachers initially but as they get a hang of it they are able to correct papers faster and more in number.. but yes they still have to maintain 8hrs of screen time no matter what. Also one of the chemistry evaluators said that they saw mixed results when i asked how are students doing in papers .. so dont believe yt sites saying everyones passing .. they might be since the steps in the ms have increased so that all teachers award marks and they also get a alert on screen if they missed a question so dont worry bout that.
So guys fingers crossed for everyone .. if ur set was hard cbse will give moderation to all students , teachers will pass you if ur near the threshold or 'atleast try to' and NO manipulations anymore so yea..
also for writting given u might get 0.5 marks but not in every question :)
edit : I spoke w em 2-3 weeks before
