Mangalore, Jun 1: This year, goof-ups in PU exam valuation have put students in a fix. Every day new incidents are being reported from around the state, landing the PU board in an embarrassing position.

Daijiworld had reported about PU commerce student Ramya who secured 0 in the accountancy paper when the result was first announced, and later after revaluation was found to have scored 70 marks. Soon after the news was published, another student from Mangalore was learnt to have faced a similar situation. The student's result showed that she scored 0 in Hindi, but after revaluation, it was declared that she had in fact scored 90! However, the parents of the student were reluctant to make the matter public.
Now, in another such case reported from Moodbidri Jain High School, Praveen Jain, a brilliant commerce student found to his utter shock that he secured only 5 marks in statistics. He could not believe his result, as he was expecting distinction. Praveen who is from a poor background even found it difficult to pay the revaluation fee. But with the help of a good samaritan he managed to apply for revaluation. To his great joy and surprise, he secured 95 marks in the paper after revaluation!
In all the above cases, a common feature that can be observed is that somehow, while declaring the initial results, the PU board seems to have missed the first digit in the actual score!
A similar case was reported from St Raymond's School in SSLC exams. Due to valuator's negligence, Astron Lobo secured 110 marks in English out of 125, and had to be satisfied with a second spot in school. Astron who always stood first in class, was disappointed with the result and applied for revaluation, and later found that he had scored 120 marks which enabled him to regain his first rank in school!
