New digital marking system is aimed at reducing human errors but many
students say it has resulted in wrong grades

A national outcry has erupted in India
<https://www.theguardian.com/world/india> after more than 400,000 students
requested copies of their answer sheets amid mounting complaints of errors
in the marking of the country?s most important school-leaving examinations.

Within days of the grade 12 exam results being issued, students began
reporting marking discrepancies they linked to a new digital marking system.

The government-run Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) says it has
received requests for 1.1 million answer sheet copies from more than
400,000 students to crosscheck the results. At least 1.7 million students
sat the class 12 exams, which are key to university admissions.

The board says the new on-screen marking (OSM) system is aimed at reducing
human error and increasing efficiency. Instead, many students say it has
resulted in wrong grades.

In the new system, physical copies of answer sheets are scanned and
uploaded to an online portal for teachers to evaluate, with a software then
calculating the total mark.

Some students said scanned answer sheets were incomplete or had missing
pages, while others reported incorrect marking, blurry scans and mismatched
answer sheets.

One mother, Geetu Moza, posted on X that her daughter had lost at least 30
marks despite answers that ?exactly matched the official answer?.

?Do the authorities even understand what 30-35 marks can mean for a Class
12 student whose entire future and admission process depends on these
scores?? she said. ?This is playing with the careers, mental health and
future of thousands of students.?

The problem surfaced when Delhi student Vedant Srivastava said in a now
viral post that the physics exam answer sheet sent to him after he
requested it was not his. He said the handwriting differed and the paper
contained answers he had not written.

?I studied for an entire year. I sacrificed sleep, peace of mind, outings,
everything for these exams,? he wrote. ?And now I don?t even know whether
my actual physics paper was checked.?

Days later, the board emailed Srivastava what it called the ?correct copy?
of his answer sheet.

Srivastava?s complaint triggered a flood of similar stories from students,
many sharing screenshots they said showed incorrect marking, missing pages
or papers that didn?t belong to them.

The board announced the new marking system just eight days before exams
began, leaving teachers scrambling to adapt to a major marking change.

Education minister Dharmendra Pradhan acknowledged ?some discrepancies? in
the new system. ?I take responsibility for this and assure you a solution
will be found,? he said.

# Enough Is Enough in Gathering Wealth

The question that often arises is: where do legitimate needs end and
excessive greed begin? How much does one truly need for a comfortable and
dignified life before accumulation becomes hoarding? The difference between
need and greed is vast, yet often overlooked.

We rejoice when we receive. We feel elated when gifts, rewards, or
blessings come our way. Yet, when it comes to giving, our joy is not always
as boundless. There is an organisation called *The Joy of Giving*, but one
need not be a member of any organisation to experience that joy. You can
become an institution unto yourself.

If you are observant, sensitive, and concerned about others, you will find
countless opportunities to bring a smile to someone's face. Whenever a
pressing need is met, humanity is enriched and Heaven itself smiles.

Charity, generosity, and magnanimity flood the mind with a sense of
well-being. They create a "feel-good" factor and, as many have rightly
said, increase our zest for living. I am not advocating grand donations or
huge sums of money. Rather, I speak of small sacrifices?acts of kindness
that hardly make a dent in one's pocket but can make a world of difference
to another person.

The mentality of bargaining relentlessly with small traders and street
vendors is often laughable. The same people who haggle over a few rupees
seldom dare to negotiate when purchasing expensive luxury items. I remember
asking for a key chain while purchasing a scooter. The salesman coolly
replied, "It is not part of the sales promotion." On another occasion, a
purchaser of a large stock was bargaining for a free bottle opener. The
dealer refused. Quietly, I paid twenty rupees for the opener to supplement
his bargaining skills.

Many people donate generously to churches, temples, and other places of
worship. Often, they extend the same generosity to religious ministers, as
though they are on the verge of starvation. Yet the beggar sitting outside
the precincts of the same religious monument may not receive a single coin.
What an irony in our understanding of charity!

I have often observed that some religious leaders who passionately inspire
others to be charitable rarely dip into their own reserves. They exhort the
faithful to give because charity is enjoined by religion. Yet the true
spirit of faith lies in serving those in need.

"Whatever you do for the least of my brothers and sisters, you do unto me."
The Lord never asked for riches to be offered to Him. He asked that the
hungry be fed, the naked clothed, and the suffering comforted.

I recall a priest who financed the education of many deserving students on
one condition: that they repay the amount after securing employment so that
others could benefit in turn. This noble act empowered many young people
who today enjoy dignified and respected lives because of his foresight and
generosity.

Our lives will not be measured by the wealth we accumulate. Wealth often
becomes a source of disputes and quarrels over inheritance. What endures is
the good we do for others. Bob Marley aptly said, "The greatness of a man
is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability
to affect those around him positively." Indeed, living for others gives
life a deeper meaning.

The gratitude inspired by genuine charity remains etched in the hearts of
recipients, even when they fail to express it. The story of the ten lepers
healed by Christ reminds us that only one returned to give thanks. Yet the
absence of gratitude should never discourage acts of kindness.

Give until it hurts?not necessarily through large donations, but through
small acts of self-denial that help meet the crying needs of others. Your
wealth is meant not only for yourself, your relatives, or your friends who
may reciprocate, but also for needy strangers who may never return,
acknowledge, or even remember your kindness.

In helping others, we help ourselves.

Charity is not always material. A word of consolation, an expression of
sympathy, a listening ear, a gesture of empathy, or seeking help for
someone in distress are equally valuable acts of human concern.

Let not your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Publicity in
charitable acts is best avoided, except perhaps when it serves to inspire
others to do likewise.

In the end, the measure of our lives will not be what we possessed, but
what we shared.
