Leader of Opposition, Assam Legislative Assembly, Debabrata Saikia, has sought the maintenance of secrecy of candidates appearing in the Assam Direct Recruitment Exam (ADRE)
In India, the identity of candidates appearing in written examinations is kept hidden through a process called anonymous marking or blind marking.
The primary goal of anonymous marking is to ensure fairness and impartiality. Revealing the candidate’s identity undermines this objective, as it can lead to preferential or discriminatory treatment. To maintain the integrity and fairness of the examination process, it is crucial to keep the identity of candidates hidden from examiners. This is why measures like roll numbers, barcodes, and separate identification slips are used
Ethical Considerations: Some argue that while anonymous marking may reduce bias, it may also limit the ability to tailor feedback based on a student’s individual needs.Overall, anonymous marking is seen as a step towards enhancing equity in educational assessments, but it requires careful planning and execution to be effective.
