NIOS — jeopardising my career due to the callous and perverse attitude of nios officials

Respected sir/ ma’am

I am astha gupta aged 19 years wish to share with your good self to listen my mental agony, i am suffering since 20th dec’19 at the hands of nios-national institute of open schooling sector-62 noida. If my apathetic story comes under your preview, then please see to it and do the needful.

Hereby it is narrated. Previously, i was a student of dlf public school sahibabad (Ghaziabad) u. P. Affiliated to cbse. I was a brilliant student throughout my schooling. I secured 95% score in class x in 2017. But could not take my class xii cbse board exams with pcb. I fell ill and suffered up to the date of exam. I suffered a mental shock due to this.

For the career that i had to pursue, mathematics was compulsory. So i had to go for the other board i. E nios. I appeared for senior secondary exams from nios in oct’19 with 5 subjects - physics, chemistry, mathematics, english and biology. The result was declared on 12th dec’19. I was not satisfied with the result so i applied for revaluation in 4 subjects - physics, maths, biology and english on 20th dec’19.

Firstly the revaluation fees rs. 3250 was debited twice from my father’s bank account and till date i haven’t received the refund back. Then i also applied for the issue of photocopy of my answer - sheets for which i had paid rs. 2800 along with an application. The officials informed me that my re-evaluated result will be updated within one and a half month.
I have fared well in all the subjects, if genuinely and honestly re-evaluated i am sure to score 93-94% as aggregate.

Since 20th december 2020 till date, i have been in constant touch with the concerned nios officials:
1. Mr. Rajesh gautam - deputy director, regional centre delhi nios
2. Mr. T. N. Giri - regional director nios
3. Ms. Mamta gupta - deputy director, evaluation nios
4. Mr. Pawan - evaluation department nios
We requested several times to meet shri. B. Venkateswaram, director of evaluation department nios but we were denied access every time.

Since then, despite repeated reminders and constantly reaching out to them for my revaluation result till date they have been declining my request and asking me to every time i visit the headquarter nios. It has been more than 6 months since i applied for revaluation and still my result is pending.

Recently i. E on 12th and 13th june 2020 i sent an e-mail and speed post to the concerned nios officials as a reminder to update my revaluation result at the earliest possible. But still they did not take any action. Since the ease in lockdown, i have been regularly visiting the office but i have been denied to enter the headquarter every time and the security asks us to visit the next day.

It is not a herculean task that my answer sheets could not be re-evaluated within more than 6 months. Lockdown was imposed from 22nd march 2020 and now it is unlocked since one and a half months.

All the government offices are deputed for the welfare of the public. But the nios officials are doing just the opposite. They are harassing the grieved people like me, mentally torturing us, installing and hampering the academic progress. Is there no higher authority to check the nefarious act of the nios offices. They are acting contrary to the pious sprit of our honourable prime minister mr. Modi’s slogan “beti bachao beti padhao.”

Education is the fundamental right of every citizen but nios is violating the basic fundamental human rights. Nios being the largest board in india, emphasises on education to all but on the contrary they are actually putting the career of many children at stake.

Due to their callous and perverse attitude, me and my family have been going through a mental trauma. All the admissions for undergraduate courses in colleges are due in a few days which requires my class xii mark sheet but i am unable to do so because of the delay in my revaluation result at nios end.

So i approached your good offices to intervene and help me get justice to save my future and oblige.

Warm regards
Astha gupta
