Analysis Finds Chemistry Central to Majority of CBSE Class 12 Marks Complaints

Analysed 5 Jun 2026·2 sources analysed·education
Analysis Finds Chemistry Central to Majority of CBSE Class 12 Marks ComplaintsPreviousNext

An analysis of over 1,000 social media posts by India Today found that Chemistry was the subject most frequently mentioned in complaints about CBSE Class 12 exam results, appearing in over 65% of student grievances. Students reported unusually low Chemistry marks compared to other subjects, issues with answer sheet availability, blurred scans, and concerns over the On-Screen Marking system. Physics and Mathematics were also cited but less frequently. These concerns emerged amid broader administrative delays and technical glitches in the re-evaluation process.

● Left 0%● Center 100%● Right 0%

The articles primarily present student grievances and administrative challenges without political framing. They focus on factual reporting of examination issues and student reactions, representing perspectives of affected students and the examination board's procedural context. There is no evident political bias, as the coverage centers on educational administration and student concerns rather than political debate.

Sentiment — Negative (32/100)

The overall tone is critical but measured, highlighting student frustrations with exam evaluation and administrative delays. While the sentiment reflects dissatisfaction and concern, it remains factual and avoids sensationalism. The coverage balances reporting of technical issues with student experiences, resulting in a predominantly negative but objective sentiment regarding the examination process.
