CBSE and Student Vedant Srivastava Disagree Over Class 12 Re-evaluation Marks
CBSE Class 12 student Vedant Srivastava's re-evaluation results have sparked debate after he claimed only a two-mark increase overall, with no additional marks in his Physics paper, which had been mistakenly swapped during the post-result process. CBSE, however, stated his total marks rose by 11, including a nine-mark increase in Physics, calling Vedant's claim "factually incorrect". Vedant clarified the Physics increase reflected the correction of the answer-sheet mix-up, not the re-evaluation. The board confirmed most re-evaluation applications have been processed.
