The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has confirmed errors in the revaluation process of Class 12 answer sheets, following complaints from two students. The discrepancies involved the mix-up of Physics and Chemistry answer sheets, which came to light after students highlighted the issue on social media. The Board has acknowledged the error and is taking corrective measures.

CBSE's Response to the Discrepancy

One of the affected students, Vedant, reported that the Physics answer sheet uploaded under his roll number did not belong to him. Upon investigation, CBSE confirmed the discrepancy and sent the correct answer sheet to his registered email. The Board assured that necessary actions to update his result are underway. Similarly, another student reported a mix-up with their Chemistry answer sheet, which CBSE has also acknowledged.

These incidents have sparked a wider discussion about the reliability of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system introduced by CBSE. The Board has faced criticism over technical glitches and incorrect markings, prompting it to seek assistance from experts at IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur to address these challenges.

Political Reactions and Criticism

The issue has also drawn political reactions, with Congress and Aam Aadmi Party (AAP) criticizing the Centre for the mishandling of the evaluation process. Congress leader Jairam Ramesh questioned the preparedness of the Education Ministry and called for accountability. Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal demanded the resignation of Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, citing the mental trauma inflicted on students due to repeated failures in the education system.

Frequently Asked Questions

Students affected by the revaluation errors are advised to stay in contact with CBSE through official channels for updates on their results. The Board is expected to provide further guidance on the resolution of these issues. For more information, students can visit the official CBSE website at cbse.gov.in.
