Student alleges irregularities in CBSE re-evaluation

CBSE 12th student Vedant Srivastava has alleged that the scanned copy of Physics provided during re-evaluation is not his. The student has demanded verification of the original answer sheet from the board.

New Delhi: CBSE’s on-screen marking process has once again come under question. Class 12 student Vedant Srivastava has claimed that the scanned copy of Physics provided by the board for re-evaluation is not his. The student says that the handwriting, method of writing answers and presentation of the copy is completely different from his other answer sheets.

The matter came to light during re-evaluation

This year, the evaluation of class 12 copies was done by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) through on-screen marking system. After the release of the results, many students had raised questions regarding the evaluation process. Now a new issue has come to light during the re-evaluation process.

Class 12 student Vedant Srivastava alleged that the scanned copy of Physics provided by the board on his roll number was the answer sheet of another student. He claimed that the handwriting, method of answering and presentation in the copy appeared completely different from the copies of his other subjects.

Result affected due to less marks

According to Vedanta, only 50 marks have been given in the copy which was uploaded in his name. Due to this his overall percentage was affected and he missed scoring 75 percent marks in PCM group.

The student said that he also checked the copies of English and Computer Science, which were found to be correct. However, the Physics answer sheet looks completely like that of some other student. Vedant says his family, teachers and even people who recognized his handwriting immediately noticed the difference.

Demand to check the original copy from the board

The student has demanded CBSE to get his original Physics answer sheet verified. He says that the copy may have changed during the digitization or scanning process.

After this matter came to light, the discussion regarding transparency of on-screen marking and digital evaluation process has again intensified. At present, no official response has come from the board on this matter.
