exams.
She
had

in
economics
and

The report further went on to state that a senior official with the CBSE exam branch, while agreeing that there were mistakes in the process, said that the difference could be due to various reasons - mistakes in totaling of marks, incorrect transfer of marks to the title page (the front of the answer books) and detachment of supplementary answer books.
