CBSE Admits Answer Sheet Mix-Up After Student Alleges Physics Paper MismatchPreviousNext

Vedant Shrivastava, a CBSE Class 12 student, alleged that the Physics answer sheet uploaded under his roll number during re-evaluation was not his, citing differences in handwriting and style. After raising the issue on social media, Vedant and his family faced online trolling, including being called "Pakistani." CBSE later admitted to an answer sheet mix-up and provided the correct copy. The family, supported by legal aid and public figures, emphasized their intent was to seek clarity and fair evaluation.

AI Analysis

Political bias across 5 sources
● Left 20%● Center 75%● Right 5%

The articles present multiple perspectives, including the student's and family's claims, CBSE's admission of error, and reactions from political figures like Rahul Gandhi supporting the student. Coverage includes criticism from social media users and responses from the family, reflecting a range of viewpoints without endorsing any political stance. The framing focuses on the procedural issue and social backlash rather than partisan analysis.

Sentiment — Neutral (40/100)

The overall tone is mixed, combining concern over the student's distress and social media harassment with acknowledgment of CBSE's admission and corrective action. While the family's experience of trolling introduces a negative sentiment, the support from legal advocates and public figures adds a positive dimension. The coverage balances the controversy with resolution efforts, maintaining a neutral emotional register.
