Faridabad Students Report Unintended Mark Reductions in CBSE Re-Evaluation ProcessPreviousNext

Two Class 12 students from DAV Public School in Faridabad experienced unexpected mark reductions in subjects they did not request for re-evaluation under CBSE's new Online Scanned Marking system. While their scores improved in reviewed subjects, marks in unrelated subjects dropped, changing their overall results from pass to repeat in theory. Their families have lodged complaints with CBSE's regional office, expressing concern over the impact on college admissions and seeking urgent board intervention.
