No, once you appear for an improvement exam, you are generally required to use the improved marksheet for admissions or official purposes.
Here’s a detailed breakdown of how it works:
What Happens After Improvement?
-
Supersedes the Original Marksheet:
- After an improvement exam, the new marksheet will reflect your latest performance. The old marksheet is still valid but cannot be used as the primary academic document for admissions.
-
Both Marksheets May Be Required:
- For some colleges and universities, both the original and the improvement marksheet must be submitted during the admission process for verification.
- Some institutions also ask for an undertaking stating you’ve opted for improvement to clarify any discrepancies.
-
Partial Improvement (Selected Subjects):
- If you improved only some subjects, your new marksheet will reflect only the updated scores. For the rest of the subjects, the original scores will still apply. In such cases, you may need to present both marksheets together for clarity.
-
NIOS and CBSE Improvements:
- For boards like CBSE and NIOS, the latest marksheet (including improved scores) is considered final. You cannot switch back to using the old marksheet for subjects you improved.
What If Your Improved Marks Are Lower?
- In most boards (like CBSE), the best score between the original and improvement attempt is considered.
- NIOS and some other boards allow you to retain the higher of the two marks, so you can still use the older score if it is better. However, this depends on the board’s specific policy.
Key Takeaways
- Use the Latest Marksheet: If you improve a subject, the improved marks are considered final, even if the new score is lower (unless the board offers a "best of both" option).
- Both Marksheets Together: You may need to present both the original and improvement marksheets for admissions and documentation.
- Admission Commitments: Some universities may not allow admissions based on the old marks if an improvement attempt has been made.
In summary, you should use the new marksheet post-improvement as the primary document, with the old marksheet only for reference if needed. Check with the respective college or university for any specific rules.
