Overview
- Vedant Srivastava received his re-evaluation outcome at the end of June and says his overall score rose by only two marks after re-evaluation, with no additional marks awarded in the contested Physics paper.
- CBSE and the Education Ministry say the final published outcome shows an 11‑mark gain for Vedant — including a nine‑mark rise in Physics theory — and have called the student’s public claim that Physics saw no re‑evaluation increase 'factually incorrect' and a 'blatant lie'.
- The core disagreement is over attribution: Vedant says the nine Physics marks were restored when CBSE corrected an earlier answer‑sheet exchange, while the board treats that nine‑mark change as part of the re‑evaluation outcome.
- Vedant’s case exposed broader problems with On‑Screen Marking this year, including reports of wrong or missing scans, a surge of verification and re‑evaluation applications, and observers noting conventional red‑ink markings on the physical Physics booklet that seem inconsistent with digital OSM annotations.
- CBSE says it has processed more than 99.7% of Class 12 verification and re‑evaluation applications; the dispute leaves open questions about how OSM corrections and re‑evaluation results are recorded, disclosed, and explained to affected students.
