How NCERT plays with students future

I have received a mail from a parent whose son left by 2 marks . This mail is about the pathetic working of NCERT. It is good that it has stopped Interviews now


Dear Sir,
My son VIPUL GUPTA ,a Resonance student, NTSE roll no 13010245 appeared in NTSE 2010 but  was awarded only 11 marks in interview and was short of only 2 (two) marks in getting NTSE Scholarship. As suggested by you, I requested  NCERT under RTI to provide me following information regarding National Talent Search Examination Interview conducted by NCERT:-
 1. To provide the copy of the response sheet filled by the Interview panel of my son VIPUL GUPTA NTSE roll no 13010245.
2. To provide the copy of the response sheet filled by the Interview panel for those students who have scored more than 22 marks in the interview.
NCERT not provided the information ,so I filed appeal with Chief Information Commissioner (CIC).CIC held hearing on 16.5.2012 and instructed NCERT to provide pre-standardised marks obtained by my son during interview.NCERT intimated that pre-standardised marks obtained by my son, Vipul Gupta, Roll No. 13010245 in the interview board of NTSE 2010 are 13 (thirteen). In this regard, it is intimated that during the hearing held on 16.5.2012 at Central Information Commission it was mentioned by NCERT that some interview boards are strict and some are lenient, therefore, standardisation of the marks given by interview board is done. In the present case, as my son was awarded only 13 (thirteen) marks out of 25 (twenty five), so it is amply clear that the interview board was strict and marks should be increased for standardisation as the lenient interview boards are giving 25 out of 25 marks to many students during interview. However, my son was awarded finally only 11 (eleven) marks in interview i.e. in the name of standardisation 2 (two) marks were deducted which is not justifiable.
In view of the above, NCERT have been requested to  look into the whole issue as the purpose of standardisation is not fulfilled and many students are finally getting 24 & 25 marks out of 25 marks in the interview by lenient interview boards.But,no response received from NCERT.
 
Can you suggest next cource of action to provide justice to my son as he was short of only 2 (two) marks in getting NTSE Scholarship.

Not qualifying in NTSE is not the end of everything and heaven is not going to fall. There must be many cases of this kind which doesn't come into notice. If your son is good, he will do good in his career. Don't worry and unnecessarily don't waste your time.
