The Government Senior Secondary School in Jyora, Jhanduta, Himachal Pradesh, is embroiled in controversy following allegations of answer sheet tampering during the Class 10 drawing examination conducted in March 2025. Parents and students held a press conference in Bilaspur, asserting that the answer sheets were improperly stored at the school before being sent to the Himachal Pradesh Board of School Education (HPBoSE). The release of results revealed unexpectedly low marks for many students, particularly in the drawing subject, prompting complaints to the board. A forensic report reportedly indicates tampering, leading families to claim that this has resulted in the exclusion of deserving students from the merit list. The allegations focus on 11 students from Jyora School, raising further suspicions regarding the examination collection centre's designation, which is said to violate regulations. Despite the seriousness of the situation, parents express frustration over the lack of action taken over the past year. They are calling for a comprehensive investigation by the secretary of the State School Education Board and for strict legal measures to be enforced against those who compromised the integrity of the examination process.
