Re-evaluation makes Shivamogga’s Deeksha secure full marks in II PUC science, becomes state topper
Shivamogga/Bengaluru: Unsatisfied with her score in the II PUC examination, Deeksha, a student from Tirthahalli in Shivamogga district, had applied for a re-evaluation. Initially awarded 99 in Chemistry, she was later granted a full score after her theory marks were revised from 69 to 70.
A student of Vagdevi PU College, Deeksha R., has emerged as the top scorer in the science stream of Karnataka’s II PUC examinations after securing a perfect 600 out of 600 in the re-evaluation.
In the commerce stream, Prateeksha of ASC PU College, Rajajinagar, Bengaluru, who had originally scored 577, moved up from third to first rank following a re-evaluation that added two marks to her English paper. She now shares the top position with S. Deepashree of Canara College, Mangaluru, both having scored 599.
The Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB) has revealed that re-evaluation led to mark changes for around 5,800 students, including significant discrepancies. In one instance, a student’s first language score jumped from 04 to 64. Other cases showed increases of 50, 44, and even 30 to 20 marks, pointing to glaring errors in the initial evaluation. Over 1,400 applicants, however, saw no change in their results.

Another North Goa nightclub sealed; Kejriwal says corruption led to fire tragedy
Panaji (PTI): As part of a crackdown against tourist establishments violating laws and safety norms in the aftermath of the Arpora fire tragedy, Goa authorities on Saturday sealed a renowned club at Vagator and revoked the fire department NOC of another club.
Cafe CO2 Goa, located on a cliff overlooking the Arabian Sea at Vagator beach in North Goa, was sealed. The move came two days after Goya Club, also in Vagator, was shut down for alleged violations of rules.
Elsewhere, campaigning for local body polls, AAP leader Arvind Kejriwal said the fire incident at Birch by Romeo Lane nightclub at Arpora, which claimed 25 lives on December 6, happened because the BJP government in the state was corrupt.
An inspection of Cafe CO2 Goa by a state government-appointed team revealed that the establishment, with a seating capacity of 250, did not possess a no-objection certificate (NOC) of the Fire and Emergency Services Department. The club, which sits atop Ozrant Cliff, also did not have structural stability, the team found.
The Fire and Emergency Services on Saturday also revoked the NOC issued to Diaz Pool Club and Bar at Anjuna as the fire extinguishers installed in the establishment were found to be inadequate, said divisional fire officer Shripad Gawas.
A notice was issued to Nitin Wadhwa, the partner of the club, he said in the order.
Campaigning at Chimbel village near Panaji in support of his party's Zilla Panchayat election candidate, Aam Aadmi Party leader Kejriwal said the nightclub fire at Arpora happened because of the "corruption of the Pramod Sawant-led state government."
"Why this fire incident happened? I read in the newspapers that the nightclub had no occupancy certificate, no building licence, no excise licence, no construction licence or trade licence. The entire club was illegal but still it was going on," he said.
"How could it go on? Couldn't Pramod Sawant or anyone else see it? I was told that hafta (bribe) was being paid," the former Delhi chief minister said.
A person can not work without bribing officials in the coastal state, Kejriwal said, alleging that officers, MLAs and even ministers are accepting bribes.
