There have been huge totalling errors in this year’s CBSE board exam papers. Documents accessed by TOI revealed how a Mumbai student who scored 80% and above in all his subjects, scored just 50 in maths. After verification, his marks were revised to 90. Another economics student who was ‘failed’ with 9 marks finally ended up with 45. TOI mailed and texted a questionnaire to CBSE’s chairperson and spokesperson but there was no official response. CBSE currently only allows verification while re-evaluation is possible only after a court order. |

PM Modi will be doing a modest diaspora event a day before in Washington DC. |
