CBSE releases revised Class 12 result for Vedant Srivastava; Physics marks do not change after answer sheet confusion
The Central Council of Secondary Education (CBSE) The 12th class student whose answer sheet mixed exposed questions during the post-result process this year has finally received the re-evaluation result. But the result has brought only marginal change.Vedant Srivastava, whose Physics answer book was mistakenly exchanged with another student’s during the post-results process of the Board, said that his overall score has gone up by only two marks. None of the increase comes from the disputed Physics article that had sparked the controversy.“I am relieved that the result is finally out,” Vedant told X on Sunday.He said he had requested re-evaluation of 11 questions across subjects, but only Mathematics and Computer Science saw a change.“In the case of the exchange of answer sheets, there is not a single grade that has increased. The grades that have increased are in mathematics where one grade has increased and one in IT,” he said.
The case that raised questions about OSM
Vedant’s case first came to light in May when he alleged that the Physics answer sheet made available to him through CBSE’s post-result services was not his.Instead of receiving a scanned copy of her answer book, she said she was shown another student’s script. The claim quickly drew attention on social media, with several students raising similar complaints about discrepancies in answer books assessed under CBSE’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.Following the backlash, CBSE acknowledged that there had been an inadvertent exchange of answer sheets during the post-result process. Later, the Board provided Vedant with his Real Physics answer book.This correction changed his Physics grades from 65 to 74.However, after examining the correct answer script, Vedant said he noticed what he believed to be additional problems with the assessment and decided to seek a reassessment.
New questions came out after the answer book
The matter gained fresh attention after Vedant shared online images of his current Physics answer sheet.Several social media users pointed out that the booklet appeared to contain conventional red ink markings instead of annotations that many associated with the digital on-screen marking process. The observations led to further questions about how the answer book had been evaluated.CBSE did not issue a separate reply to these observations.
The debate about OSM continues
With the results of the reassessment now declared, Vedant’s individual case has reached its conclusion. However, the debate surrounding CBSE’s first year of on-screen marking implementation continues.Several students who later received verified or re-evaluated answer books have continued to raise concerns about the evaluation process. Issues highlighted include answers that students claim were not marked, answers that were allegedly not marked despite being attempted, and cases where the marks awarded did not appear to match the assessment marks on the answer sheet.The on-screen marking system was introduced for the first time in the Class 12 Board examinations of 2026, replacing the conventional manual evaluation process with digital evaluation of scanned answer books.The transition also saw a sharp rise in post-result requests, with thousands of students requesting verification of marks, photocopies of answer books and re-evaluation.CBSE has maintained that the post-result evaluation and review process has been conducted as per the laid down procedures.
