Days after alleging that his Physics answer sheet had been swapped during the CBSE re-evaluation process, student Vedant said the board has now acknowledged the error and shared his “correct” answer book.
Taking to X, Vedant wrote, “We have got my correct answer sheet by CBSE. CBSE officials reached out to us in the evening and have sent my answer sheet. We were correct on our claims, and the answer sheet indeed got exchanged.”

CBSE, in an email response to the student, said the matter had been reviewed, and corrective action was being initiated. “Upon review, the matter has been examined, and the correct copy of your answer book has been sent to your registered email address. Necessary action for updating your result, as applicable, is also being undertaken accordingly,” the board said.
The controversy erupted after Vedant claimed that the scanned copy of his Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE during the verification process did not belong to him. He alleged that the handwriting, the structure of the answers, and the overall presentation in the uploaded copy were completely different from his writing style. The student had compared the document with his answer sheets from other subjects and publicly questioned whether his original Physics paper had been evaluated at all.
The episode has intensified scrutiny around CBSE’s post-result grievance redressal system and digital evaluation process. In recent days, several students have reported issues ranging from mismatched or blurred answer sheets to portal crashes and payment failures while applying for verification and re-evaluation. Reports have also highlighted concerns over the implementation of On-Screen Marking (OSM), with students and parents alleging inconsistencies in evaluation and delays in responses from the board.
