The CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education) results are long out, but a group of parents of students from a school in Andheri have sought help from the police, alleging the institute gave the pupils low marks in internal exams, which brought down their overall marks. The students and parents fear that they will lose out on good colleges, when they fall behind in overall merit. They want the school to rectify the problem. The police have said the matter is not in their purview, but they will help initiate a dialogue.

The issue

Parents of around 12 students from Std X of Ashok Academy have not only written a letter to the school authorities, but will also approach the CBSE board with the complaint. "We are absolutely shocked with the internal marks which our children have received and believe that this is not the correct reflection of the efforts they have put in," reads the complaint letter which has been submitted to the Oshiwara police station by parents, who also claimed that the school did not resolve the issue.
