A new viral CBSE answer sheet video is raising questions about how Class 12 papers are being evaluated. After Vedant questioned his marks, another student’s Chemistry answer sheet video has exploded online, with claims that even answers matching the official marking scheme were marked wrong.
What began as one student, Vedant Shrivastava, questioning his marks has now snowballed into a much larger controversy surrounding CBSE’s answer sheet evaluation system, with viral videos, alleged mismatches and growing outrage putting the board under intense scrutiny. The latest flash point involves a Class 12 student identified as Sanjana, whose emotional video about her Chemistry answer sheet has exploded across social media. In the clip, she is seen holding her evaluated paper and pointing out what she claims are glaring discrepancies in marking.
'So pissed' at CBSE
In a video that is now going viral on social media, the 12th-grade student said: "I just received my Chem answer book from CBSE, and I’m literally so pissed." In the nearly 50-second clip, the student, identified as Sanjana in social media posts, alleges that several of her multiple-choice answers matched the official marking scheme but were still marked incorrect. "As you can see this is my answer sheet. Then the answers are marked A, B, A, C, B... And in the marking scheme also given by CBSE it is... But as you can see only two of my answers are correct," she says while scrolling through the paper.
In some sections, she claims questions she clearly attempted were shown as "unattempted" on the evaluated sheet. "Not to mention the first page it shows that I have not attempted all these questions when I have," she says.
Vedant Shrivastava controversy continues
This follows another viral complaint involving a student named Vedant Shrivastava. Vedant had earlier alleged that the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE did not belong to him at all. According to his family, the handwriting, sentence structure and writing style visible in the scanned copy appeared completely different from his own work. CBSE later acknowledged that an incorrect answer book had been shared in his case and said corrective action was being taken.
His complaint triggered a massive online debate, especially among anxious students and parents already frustrated with the newly introduced On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.

The revised post-result system was initially rolled out by CBSE as a transparency measure, allowing students to first access scanned copies of their answer sheets before applying for verification or re-evaluation. But instead of calming concerns, the process appears to have intensified them. Students on social media have complained about blurred scans, payment glitches, portal crashes and delays in receiving answer sheets.
