The High Court bench questioned CBSE on how many errors would there be in the evaluation if there were errors in totalling of marks. Defending the argument, CBSE stated that the report on totalling of marks was sensationalised. Usually, students can approach the board directly if they find any issues/ discrepancies regarding the evaluation and totalling. The board then provides a photocopy of answer sheets to students, CBSE argued.
