Many students who applied for verification are not obtaining the photocopies of answer sheets, and instead filing an RTI. One of the students mentioned that he did not apply for photocopy of answer sheet due to CBSE’s rule that indicates no examinee is allowed to challenge the evaluated answer book in the court of law.
Parents claimed that students must have right to seek re-evaluation and examine their answer sheets.
So far, CBSE has not made any official statement on the issue.
