Imagine fighting India's biggest exam board on Twitter… as a teenager.
And winning the first round.
Then being publicly called a liar in round two.
That's where Vedant Shrivastava is right now.
Back in May, Vedant did something most Class 12 students wouldn't dare.
He looked at his CBSE Physics answer sheet… and said, that's not mine.
Different handwriting. Different answers. Different student.
His posts went viral overnight.
CBSE eventually admitted it — yes, an inadvertent exchange of answer sheets had happened during their shiny new On-Screen Marking (OSM) rollout.
His real answer book was sent back. His Physics marks were revised upward.
A rare W against a giant institution.
Vedant applied for re-evaluation of 11 questions.
The result?
Total bump from the re-evaluation portal: just 2 marks.
But CBSE told a very different story to the public.
The Board said his theory marks jumped:
Total increase after re-evaluation: 11 marks. 🎯
And they called Vedant's social media post "factually incorrect" and a "blatant lie."
Vedant's reply was surgical.
👉 Those 9 Physics marks? They didn't come from re-evaluation.
They came from CBSE finally grading his actual answer sheet — the one they had mixed up in the first place.
In his words:
"If the answer sheet of Physics was not mine, how were the marks given on that answer sheet my marks?"
Two separate events. CBSE is bundling them into one neat number.
And using that number to call a 17-year-old a liar.
This is CBSE's first year running On-Screen Marking.
And the system has already produced:
Lakhs of students are watching this fight.
Because Vedant isn't just defending 9 marks.
He's exposing a system that would rather brand a student a liar than admit a process is broken.
⚡ One kid. One screenshot. One stubborn thread of logic.
That's all it takes to make an entire board flinch.
That's all for now!
