New Delhi : The Vedant Srivastava-Physics marks controversy is far from over. A fresh clarification has directly contradicted the Class 12 student’s claims over his revised marks, describing his account as “factually incorrect” and a “blatant lie.” The latest exchange has deepened the row over the answer-sheet mix-up that first brought the evaluation process under the spotlight.
In a video posted on social media, Vedant rejected CBSE’s latest clarification and maintained that the nine-mark increase in Physics was not a result of the re-evaluation process. He took to X and wrote, “The nine marks increase in Physics that you are talking about did not come through the re-evaluation process. Those are my actual marks that CBSE failed to award earlier because my answer sheet had been exchanged.
“How is this a blatant lie? The 9 marks increase in Physics did not happen after the opening of the re-evaluation portal. And if the answer sheet of Physics was not mine, how were the marks given on that answer sheet my marks?” Vedant’s argument is that the nine additional Physics marks merely reflected the correction made after CBSE admitted that his answer sheet had been mistakenly exchanged with another student’s answer book.
“Vedant’s original score was 44, not 35. Therefore, the assertion that Vedant’s score was 35 is incorrect, and calling our statement a blatant lie is unwarranted. This situation is regrettable. We sought re-evaluation for 11 questions and accepted the examiners’ decision if, after re-examination, they found no grounds to award additional marks. Our only objection is to being characterised as untruthful,” Siddhant told us.
In an official clarification issued on June 28, it was stated that the outcomes of over 99.7% of applications received for verification of marks and re-evaluation of the Class 12 board examination had been declared.
