New Delhi: In a startling claim, a CBSE Class 12 student has said that the Physics answersheet uploaded under his roll number during the re-evaluation process is not his.
Sharing comparisons of multiple answer sheets, Vedant Shrivastava of Delhi has demanded an urgent investigation into the alleged mismatch, as reported by News18.
CBSE responded to the a report on this by ABP News and said that they are taking necessary steps to resolve the issue.
Many students started checking photocopies of their answer sheets amid complaints about low marks and the new On-Screen Marking (OSM) system after CBSE opened the Class 12 verification and re-evaluation process for 2026.
Many of them complained of blurry scans and missing pages, but Vedant’s post on X sparked a broader online debate.
The Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE under his roll number was not his own paper, he claimed. He immediately noticed the handwriting and answers did not match what he had written in the exam, Vedant posted.
“I am a CBSE Class 12 student. After receiving unexpectedly low marks in Physics, we applied for photocopies of my answer sheets through the CBSE reevaluation process. Today we received the copies. And I am shattered because the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE is not mine,” he posted.
Vedant explained that his family members and teachers also noticed major differences in the uploaded Physics answer sheet.
“The Physics answer sheet sent by CBSE does is not my answer sheet at all. I KNOW this is not my handwriting and it did not have the questions I attempted. Not just me, my family, teachers, and everyone who knows my writing immediately noticed the difference,” he wrote.
The student compared the Physics answer sheet with his English and Computer Science papers, along with his handwritten notes, to support his claim and said: “The English and Computer Science copies clearly match each other. But the Physics copy looks like it belongs to another student entirely.”
The difference was too obvious to ignore, he said. “The handwriting style, letter formation, spacing, slant, sentence flow, everything is different. This is not a minor variation. It is completely different writing,” he added.
Had another student’s answer sheet been checked under his roll number because of an error in CBSE’s OSM system, he wondered.
“If this is true, then what exactly was evaluated under my roll number? My paper? Or someone else’s? This is no longer just a “rechecking” issue. This may be a serious answer-sheet exchange or tagging error in CBSE’s OSM system,” Vedant wrote.
Speaking about the emotional stress students undergo during board exams, he wrote: “I studied for an entire year. I sacrificed sleep, peace of mind, outings, everything for these exams. And now I don’t even know whether MY actual Physics paper was checked. Do students really deserve this?”
He urged CBSE to verify the original answer sheet, audit the scanning and tagging process, and investigate whether papers were exchanged during evaluation.
