Overview
- Vedant Srivastava received his final re-evaluation result on Sunday and his overall score rose by two marks while his Physics theory marks did not change after an earlier correction.
- CBSE previously acknowledged an inadvertent exchange of Vedant’s Physics answer sheet during post-result verification and revised his Physics score from 65 to 74 after supplying his actual script.
- Vedant had applied for re-evaluation of 11 answers but said only one mark each was added in Mathematics and Computer Science, leaving the disputed Physics paper unchanged.
- Social media users flagged that Vedant’s returned Physics booklet showed conventional red-ink markings that appear inconsistent with on-screen digital annotations and CBSE has not publicly addressed those specific observations.
- The board’s first-year rollout of on-screen marking prompted lakhs of verification and re-evaluation requests and the episode has left students and parents watching for a formal CBSE explanation or an independent audit of the process.
