A fresh controversy has erupted between Vedant Srivastava, a class 12 student and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). CBSE has rejected Vedant's allegations of irregularities in his re-evaluation results, saying they were "factually incorrect".
CBSE's response came after Vedant posted on X that his Physics answer paper did not fetch any marks during re-evaluation.
Refuting Vedant's claims, CBSE said that after the re-evaluation, Vedant's Physics score increased by 9 marks.
In a video post on X, Vedant rejected CBSE's latest clarification and maintained that the nine-mark increase in Physics was not a result of the re-evaluation process.
All this began after the Class 12 results were announced on May 13. Vedant had alleged that his original physics answer sheet was swapped with another student's, as the paper contained handwriting that did not belong to him.
A complaint was raised with the CBSE, following which the board provided him with what he claimed was his correct answer sheet and revised his marks.
Even after the re-evaluation process, Vedant alleged that several of the 11 questions he had applied for review were not properly assessed.
CBSE denied the allegations and said that Vedant's marks were increased by 11 points across three subjects after the re-evaluation process, not just two.
Vedant's latest response to CBSE
Questioning CBSE's latest response, Vedant said, "How is this a blatant lie? The 9 marks increase in Physics did not happen after the opening of the re-evaluation portal. And if the answer sheet of Physics was not mine, how were the marks given on that answer sheet my marks?"
Issuing an official clarification, the CBSE announced it has processed more than 99.7% of Class 12 marks verification and re-evaluation applications, with the remaining cases currently in the final stages.
According to CBSE, his Physics theory marks increased from 35 to 44, resulting in a gain of nine marks. The board added that his Mathematics score increased from 46 to 47, while his Computer Science marks rose from 61 to 62, bringing the total increase across the three subjects to 11 marks.
