However, the students have received the photocopy of answer sheets a few weeks ago and when they compared they answered sheets, they noticed that students have been marked arbitrarily. The question carried a total of 16 marks. Some students who attempted the question received full marks while some had got 10 or 6. As per the students, this is very unfair on the part of the authority as all students deserve equal parts since the question was out-of-syllabus.
