What is LICR?
"LICR captures and digitises the marks entered on the top-sheets of the answer scripts, and instantly encrypts and transfers the captured data to the Council's cloud-based servers directly from the evaluation centers," Arathoon said, according to PTI.
"This significantly reduced the time required for compilation of results as the system automatically totals the marks awarded by the examiners and also applies the question-paper rubrics, hence eliminating any possibility of manual totalling and manual rubric application errors," he added.
The examination mark sheets and pass certificates for class 10 and 12 will reach the schools by May 14 and May 10 respectively, the council announced.
