A Mumbai student who scored 80% and above in all is subjects, scored just 50 in maths. After verification, his marks were revised to 90.
Sonali, a Delhi student, was horrified to learn, on May 29, that she had scored a mere 68 in mathematics in her Class XII exam.
It was only after the two students applied to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for verification — retotaling of marks — that Samiksha's 42 more than doubled to 90. With 99 in economics, 95 in accountancy and 96 in business studies, the maths marks just didn't add up. Samiksha Sharma's dream of making it to a North Campus college was almost shattered when she scored 42 in maths, after scoring well in English, Business Studies and Fine Arts. Another economics student who was 'failed' with 9 marks finally ended up with 45.

A senior CBSE official admitted that the number of applications for verification of marks has been unprecedented. Another senior official with the CBSE exam branch, while agreeing that there were mistakes in the process, said that the difference could be due to various reasons — mistakes in totaling of marks, incorrect transfer of marks to the title page (the front of the answer books) and detachment of supplementary answer books.
