The Supreme Court has directed the CBSE to reconsider grievances of the students if they face any difference in marks calculated by the central board and the respondent school. The Comptroller of Examinations has been asked to take appropriate action.

The petitioner students were represented by advocates Kartik N Shukul and Abhikalp Pratap Singh. The plea stated that the respondent school have allotted them particular marks, whereas the CBSE results uploaded on the portal showed much less than those given by the school.

To this, the school committee said that it followed all the instructions as mentioned in the CBSE portal. It did not have any power or option to moderate or assign marks to the students on its own. Further, the school committee argued that the entire process was done precisely as per the CBSE instructions and now it is putting the onus of its wrongs on the school. They added that if the moderation process was wrong or inaccurate, the responsibility and onus lies with the CBSE and not the school adding that the board is trying to cover up the inaccuracy and blaming it on the school.
