Declaration of NTSE Stage I (Rajasthan) result, despite corrections in the official answer key

Have sent this mail to so many email id's.
deme.ncert@nic.in,bserexams@gmail.com,commissioner.cce@rajasthan.gov.in,jdacad.cce@rajasthan.gov.in,secy-boserrj@nic.in,cmrajasthan@nic.in,cmraj@rajasthan.gov.in,bktripathi_jdncert@yahoo.com,secy.ncert@nic.in,smritizirani@gmail.com,smritiszirani@sansad.nic.in,jualoram@nic.in,rtipmo.applications@gov.in,hrm@nic.in,secy.sel@nic.in

Hope atleast one of them replies in a positive manner

Respected Sir/Madam

NTSE Stage I (Rajasthan) Exam was conducted on 2.11.14

Q. No 83 of Scholastic Aptitude Test paper was - How many seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes in Lok Sabha. 

Out of the four options given - two options were 41 and 47

RBSE considered 41 as the correct answer in its official Answer Key.

We sent the objections, as the correct answer should be 47.

to prove my answer, undergiven are some proofs

Q 6. How many seats are reserved for Scheduled Tribes in Lok Sabha?

Ans. 47

For Scheduled Tribes, 47 seats are reserved in Lok Sabha. The 1st schedule to R. P. Act, 1950  as amended vide Representation of People (Amendment) Act , 2008 gives the Statewise break up.

http://eci.nic.in/eci_main1/delimitation_faq.aspx
Page no.62 of Class IX Civics book, NCERT also says - Currently, in the Lok Sabha, 84 seats are reserved for the Scheduled Castes and 47 for the Scheduled Tribes (as on 1 September 2012).
http://ncert.nic.in/NCERTS/textbook/textbook.htm?iess4=4-6
like the above there were many corrections in the official answer key issued by RBSE. When we objected, RBSE issued a revised key in which some objections were entertained. But the answer for Q. No.83 remains the same. And the result of NTSE Stage I (Rajasthan) was declared on the basis of this revised answer key.
other than Q.No.83, another question Q.No.76 was declared as Bonus, though the answer of this question was correct in the initial answer key.
Same way Q.No. 29 of Mental Ability Paper also had a wrong answer.
Sir/Madam, just think of the situation of a X class student, who despite his/her best efforts is not able to clear this prestigious exam, just because of the mistakes committed by the organisation responsible for conducting the exam. The cut off for this exam for General Category went as high as 123/140. and many students got struck in between 120-123 because of a blunder created by RBSE.
Its my humble request to you, to please look into the matter. Its not only a question of the scholarship of students, its a question of the faith of the students in a highly prestigious exam like NTSE (only scholarship exam conducted by Govt. of India for the students of Class X). Overall, its a question of the faith of the students in the working of government machinery.
Last year some problem erupted in NTSE Stage I (Haryana) forcing parents to move to the judiciary. Finally the NCERT Stage I (Haryana) was conducted again by the order of Judiciary. This led to overall delay in the Second Stage/National Stage examination. Generally its conducted in the month of May, last year it was conducted in the month of October.
I sincerely pray and hope that you will instruct RBSE/NCERT to look into the matter, and solve this issue keeping in view the wider interest of the student community.

Corrections in the Answer Key of STSE (Class X) issued by RBSE

RBSE came up with the official answer key for STSE -14 on 11.3.15 and asked for objections related to the answers given.

I have objections on the following answers

1. The answer given for Question No. 46 in MAT is (4),

but according to me the answer should be (3). Proof for my answer is placed in the attachment. 

2. The answer given for Question No. 12 in LCT2 is (4),

but according to me, both (2) and (4) should be correct. "A number of" always take a plural verb. In this question, both option (2) and (4) can be correct grammatically. But logically opton (2) should be correct as we are talking about the disaster in Uttarakhand that happened in past. Hence, 'were' should be ued in place of 'are'. 

Hence option (2) is correct. Though both option (2) and (4) can be correct.

3. The answer given for Question No. 33 in LCT2 is (2),

but according to me option (1) should be correct. The statement form of 'Don't you ever make mistakes' was asked. 'You' is a second person. That means the speaker is addressing the listener. The listener bieng the second person, 'you'. That means that the listener makes mistakes. 

Hence, option (1) is correct.

4. The answer given for Question No. 34 in LCT2 is (2),

but according to me option (4) should be correct. Corelative conjuction - not only .... but also' was given and asked to join two separate sentences. As a rule, we always put corelative conjuction before anything that is different in both the statements. Over here, 'a big house' and 'a big farm house' are two diffferent things. Therefore. 'not only' will be placed before 'a big home' and 'but also' will be put before 'a big farm house'. 

Hence option (4) is correct

5. The answer given for Question No. 31 in SAT is (2),

but according to me, option (3) should be correct.

for explanation, page no. 134 of class XII, NCERT book can be consulted.

6. The answer given for Question No. 36 in SAT is (2),

but according to me option (3) should be correct.

for explanation, page no. 10 of class IX, NCERT book can be consulted.

7. The answer given for Question No. 44 in SAT is (1),

but according to me option (3)  & (4) should be correct.

for explanation, page no. 73 of class X, NCERT book can be consulted.

Kerala NTSE Stage I 2015 Result

Its heights of discrimination with the student society. For a exam, for which they pay appropriate fees, first of all results are not announced on time. Even when the results are announced, cut off marks are not announced. Only the roll number of few students are shown, that these have cleared the exam. How they have cleared, how much they have scored is no declared.
Same is with the students of Kerala who have appeared in the NTSE this year.
I request all students who have appeared for NTSE to file RTI application, forcing SCERT, Kerala to come up with the cut off marks for General category, SC and ST category.
