<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\nNEW DELHI: Days after a Delhi student alleged that the Physics answer sheet uploaded under his CBSE roll number belonged to someone else, the board has now acknowledged the error and sent him the correct answer script, bringing an unusual and widely discussed Class XII evaluation controversy to a close \u2014 at least partially.The student, Vedant, whose posts on X triggered a broader debate around CBSE\u2019s new On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, said on Monday evening that CBSE officials had reached out to the family and shared the correct Physics answer sheet after reviewing the matter.\u201cWe have got my correct answer sheet by CBSE. CBSE officials reached out to us in the evening and has sent my answer sheet. We were correct on our claims and the answer sheet indeed got exchanged,\u201d Vedant wrote on X.The development comes amid continuing scrutiny of CBSE\u2019s digital evaluation and answer-sheet access process this year, which has already seen complaints over portal crashes, blurred scans, missing pages and payment glitches.From low marks to a viral controversy<\/span>Vedant had first raised concerns after receiving lower-than-expected marks in Physics in the CBSE Class XII results declared earlier this month. After applying for scanned copies of his evaluated answer books, he claimed the Physics paper uploaded under his roll number did not match his handwriting or attempted answers.\u201cThe handwriting style, spacing, slant, sentence flow \u2014 everything was different,\u201d he had written earlier, sharing comparisons with his English and Computer Science answer sheets.The posts rapidly gained traction online, drawing millions of views and triggering fierce reactions on social media. While many students supported him and shared similar complaints, others accused him of trying to discredit CBSE.According to PTI, some users even labelled him \u201canti-national\u201d and \u201cPakistani\u201d over the complaint after noticing his X account location displayed \u201cSouth Asia\u201d.Reflecting on the episode after CBSE admitted the error, Vedant wrote, \u201cPeople called us anti-national and Pakistani just because we raised a genuine concern and at the end truth has prevailed.\u201dCBSE confirms technical glitch<\/span>In its response to Vedant on X, CBSE acknowledged the issue and said the correct answer sheet had been sent to the student\u2019s registered email address.\u201cThank you for bringing your concern regarding your Physics answer book to our attention. Upon review, the matter has been examined, and the correct copy of your answer book has been sent to your registered email address,\u201d the board said.CBSE further added, \u201cNecessary action for updating your result, as applicable, is also being undertaken accordingly.\u201dVedant also said the family would still apply for re-evaluation after reviewing the newly received answer sheet.Family calls for careful OSM implementation<\/span>Speaking to PTI, Vedant\u2019s brother Siddhant Srivastava said the family was not opposed to digitised evaluation systems but questioned the speed of implementation.\u201cHe acknowledges that OSM can be a good system in principle for transparency and efficiency, but such systems should undergo proper phase-wise testing and validation before full implementation,\u201d PTI reported.Vedant, meanwhile, urged CBSE to investigate whether similar answer-sheet exchanges may have affected other students as well.<\/div>\n
