CBSE fixes admit card errors

Several candidates to the Joint Entrance Examination (JEE- Main), an entrance test to the country's premier engineering institutes, who had got admission cards with wrong information, received the corrected ones on Tuesday.

A day after TOI wrote about the discrepancies in several hall tickets, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) officials worked overtime to fix the errors. Several candidates had received cards with wrong photos. The CBSE is conducting the centralized engineering entrance test for 12.82 lakh students on April 7.

On March 6, the board uploaded the admit cards but several students were taken aback when they saw that their hall tickets carried wrong details, in some cases even wrong photos.

Rajbir Singh, officer in-charge for JEE-Main, told TOI: "We are working till midnight and correcting the hall tickets. No student will be distressed."

Some students, who TOI spoke to, said they were waiting for the CBSE to upload their corrected admit cards. Others like Armaan Rais Ahmed Mansuri, an 18-year-old student from Nashik, were luckier. "This morning, when I checked the website, a fresh hall ticket with the right picture had been uploaded by the CBSE."

Meanwhile, the CBSE helpline number — 8506061071-78 — has been constantly buzzing with students calling in and seeking corrected hall tickets.
