In a troubling incident in Chikkamagaluru district, Karnataka, Ramadatta Sharma, a student at a government high school in Sringeri, discovered a significant error in his SSLC examination results. Despite scoring 72 marks in English, his marks card inaccurately recorded his score as 28. The discrepancy came to light when teachers, concerned about the low score, visited Ramadatta's home to offer support. Following their advice, he requested a scanned copy of his answer script, which confirmed his actual score. This error, attributed to a data entry mistake by the Karnataka School Examination and Assessment Board (KSEAB), has raised alarms among educators, with retired teacher Shanthappa emphasizing the potential harm such lapses can cause to students' futures. Ramadatta expressed relief upon verifying his true score, highlighting the importance of accuracy in academic assessments.
