NIOS gets 10-day deadline to reissue diploma results

SHILLONG: Teachers who had appeared for the Diploma in Elementary Education (D. El. Ed) have given National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) 10 days to reissue rectified results for 2013-14.
The aggrieved teachers, who took out a black flag march to the office of the Directorate of Educational Research and Training at Laitumkhrah on Wednesday, said if fresh results were not declared then they would meet the minister concerned.
They also threatened to take legal recourse if NIOS failed to meet the deadline.
“If our demands are not met by December, then we will go to court,” said Aristotle C. Rymbai, an aggrieved teacher.
NIOS announced the results of the diploma examination on September 9 after a nine-month delay.
The teachers are alleging that the results do not include internal markings. Also, a few candidates have been marked ‘absent’ against subjects that they appeared for while some have scored full marks.
