The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 board examinations have concluded, while exams for several Class 12 subjects have already taken place; exams for the remaining subjects are scheduled to be held until April 9. However, amidst this period, the CBSE has initiated the evaluation process; yet, in Delhi, the Board is struggling to find teachers to evaluate the CBSE board exam answer sheets. In essence, the evaluation of CBSE board exam answer sheets in Delhi has come to a standstill due to a shortage of teachers. In this regard, the CBSE has written a letter to the Directorate of Education, Delhi.

Let us understand the full scope of this issue: Why has the evaluation work for CBSE board exams in Delhi stalled? We will also find out what the CBSE has written in its letter to the Directorate of Education, Delhi.
**Why are teachers unavailable for evaluation?**
The CBSE has commenced the evaluation of board exam answer sheets, but in Delhi, the Board is unable to find teachers to carry out this evaluation. The primary reason for this is that school principals are not relieving teachers for evaluation duties. Since teachers remain engaged in their duties at their respective schools, the CBSE's evaluation process has failed to get off to a smooth start.

**What did the CBSE write in the letter?**
In this regard, the CBSE has written a letter to the Directorate of Education, Delhi. The letter, issued by the Confidential Branch of the CBSE's Delhi-West Regional Office, seeks the intervention of the Directorate of Education in this matter. The letter from the CBSE states that it is continuously receiving reports indicating that guest teachers and regular teachers from Delhi Government schools are not being relieved for evaluation duties. Consequently, the evaluation work is being adversely affected. The CBSE states that school administrations are citing the Directorate's 2024 circular—which instructed against relieving guest teachers for CBSE-related duties—in their communications with the Board.

What has the CBSE requested?
In a letter, the CBSE has requested the Directorate of Education to refrain from issuing instructions regarding the relieving of guest teachers for evaluation purposes. This would ensure that the evaluation process is completed on time. The ball is now in the Directorate of Education's court. It is worth noting that guest teachers in Delhi have historically played a crucial role in the evaluation of CBSE Board examinations.
