On Sunday, Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition, escalated his criticism of the Union Education Ministry and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) regarding problems in the Class 12 evaluation process. This follows an incident involving Vedant, a student who received the wrong answer sheet after applying for a re-evaluation of his Physics marks, which he deemed unexpectedly low. Gandhi shared a video of his conversation with Vedant, highlighting the challenges faced by students and condemning the labeling of their concerns as anti-national. The CBSE has since acknowledged the issue and assigned a team to investigate. The board also confirmed that Vedant's marks would be reviewed after sending him the correct answer sheet. This incident has raised broader concerns about the CBSE's new On-Screen Marking system, which has faced criticism due to reported discrepancies in students' marks compared to their performance in competitive exams. The CBSE is working to rectify these issues and has announced that its Post-Result Activities portal will be operational from June 1, allowing students to request verification and re-evaluation.
