Overview
- A Delhi Class 12 student, Vedant Srivastava, received scanned answer copies on May 23 and posted that the Physics paper uploaded under his roll number did not match his handwriting, a post that went viral.
- CBSE acknowledged the mismatch, emailed Vedant the correct scanned Physics copy and told him his marks will be updated, while other students have reported similar cases of wrong or unclear uploads.
- Hundreds of students have complained about OSM problems including blurred or low‑resolution scans, missing pages and portal payment or login failures that they say affected marking accuracy.
- The episode triggered heavy social media attention and abuse of the family, with at least one broadcaster apologising after suggesting the student was foreign; public figures and youth groups raised demands for accountability.
- Education officials are facing calls to expand rechecks, give full access to original scans, consider remediation like grace marks, and conduct a formal review of the On‑Screen Marking rollout to restore trust.
