With various reports suggesting that CBSE has made errors in totalling Class 12 marks, a question mark on the authenticity of nation's biggest board has been raised.
One student learnt that she had scored just 68 in maths in her class 12 exams.
When these two students applied for verification, Sonali's 68 was increased to 95 while that of Samiksha's doubled more than over to 90. CBSE now only allows verification while re-evaluation is possible only after a court order.
A Mumbai student named Mohammad Affan, who scored 80% and above in all his subjects, scored just 50 in mathematics. But he scored 9 marks finally, which ended up with the pass mark, 45.
Meanwhile, reports also shows that for the first time ever, the number of applications for verification of marks has been huge as compared to previous years.

Many residents are still missing and the death toll was expected to grow higher, Metropolitan Police Commander Stuart Cundy said. He told reporters that the investigation's "absolute priority" is to establish the identities of those inside the building.
The Delhi High Court order had ordered the board to continue with the moderation policy, which had been scrapped by the CBSE.
TOI mailed and texted a questionnaire to CBSE's chairperson and spokesperson on Saturday but there was no official response till late on Saturday evening.
With so many students facing marks discrepancies, it is indeed concerning as to what could have gone wrong while aggregating the marks and moreover, was the CBSE right in doing away with the re-evaluation process?
While Sonali chose to go for verification, many others often seem hesitant and scared to get their marks re-cheked. Also, while students who are fully confident about their performance in the exam and who received a drastic change in marks from what they expected will pursue the process of re-totalling, it's equally likely that students not as confident will not even apply for verification. An unidentified CBSE official told TOI that the errors could have been a result of a mistake in totalling, detachment of supplementary answer books or incorrect marks being mentioned on the front page of the answer books.
