Students preparing for revaluation of their CBSE Class XII exams are facing significant anxiety due to inconsistencies in the answer keys. Reports indicate that some answers marked incorrect were actually correct, diverging from the official answer key used for evaluation. For instance, a physics question allowed for two different solving methods, yet the answer key only acknowledged one, leaving students uncertain about their marks. A similar issue was found in the math paper, where two answers were possible for a single question. The recent implementation of on-screen marking, which involves scanning and digitally uploading answer sheets, has compounded these concerns, as students fear the same answer key will be used for revaluation. Education experts suggest that students should provide all possible answers when applying for revaluation to mitigate the risk of lost marks, highlighting a history of poorly worded questions by the CBSE that have led to multiple correct answers.
