CBSE has clarified that apparent mark discrepancies in scanned answer sheets often occur when students attempt extra questions. The board counts the higher score among internal choices and excludes additional answers from the total.
New Delhi: The CBSE clarified after students spotted possible marks mismatches in their scanned answer sheets compared to the board's records, during the current verification and re-evaluation process.
According to the board, the confusion has largely arisen in cases where students attempted more questions than required, particularly in sections offering internal choices. CBSE said that while all attempted answers may appear in the scanned copy, only the marks from the answer that benefits the student the most are included in the final calculation.
Why the totals may look different
In a notice issued to students, CBSE explained that many question papers contain internal choices, allowing candidates to answer one out of two alternatives. However, some students choose to answer both options.
