Subhashree Biswabandita Sahu, a Class 12th student was extremely shocked when she collected her senior secondary examination mark sheet from the school since the marks mentioned on it were different from what she saw on the website.
On May 29, Sahu checked her marks on the official website of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The result on the website displayed her marks as 93 in Mathematics, 95 in English, 95 in Chemistry and 95 in Physics. But sadly the marks printed on her mark sheet reads 10 in Mathematics, 81 in English, 36 in Chemistry and 35 in Physics.

Sudhansu Sekhar Sahu, father of Subhashree was also stunned and claimed that his daughter is a bright student cannot obtain such poor marks. He revealed that his daughter is in a shocked state and he is not able to make her stop crying. Mother of the student, Vidya Sahu, disappointed with CBSE, said that people will lose faith in the education system with such kind of blunders happening and CBSE is ultimately playing with student's career.
Manish Agrawal, regional CBSE officer informed that the answer books of the students were checked after they received the complaint and it was found that the marks printed in her original mark sheet were correct while the ones she viewed on the website were wrong. Sahu is left with no other option but to take the matter to the court.
However, the mark sheet downloaded from the website is printed with the disclaimer which states that neither CBSE or NIC will be responsible for any unintentional error in the results published via the internet and the results displayed there cannot be considered as original grade sheets since it is the immediate information to the students. The Board will separately issue original mark sheets.

On the above disclaimer, Sahu said if the board is admitting that results published can have errors then they should stop publishing the results and provide final grade sheets instead of harassing and imposing mental trauma on students. In a press release, the board explained that despite the efforts of the experienced teachers, human errors may occur while summing up the marks or transferring marks to the title page in the answer sheets or when the marks are entered manually in the computer system.
Orissa High Court has asked CBSE to re-evaluate the answer books of 177 students due to alleged discrepancy in the marks of several students in Bhubaneswar region comprising students of Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Odisha. However, the board from the year 2016 had decided to get away from the evaluation process of answer sheets.
