Vanshiben Manishbhai scored 211 and 212 marks in Gujarati and Mathematics, respectively. The total marks for these subjects were 200.

According to a report by India Today, the glaring error occurred during the compilation of the result. However, the student was later given the revised mark sheet, where the scores were corrected to 191 and 190 for Gujarati and Mathematics, respectively. The marks for the remaining subjects were not revised, and the total marks were later changed to 934 from 956.

The now-viral mark sheet shows Manishbhai scoring A in all the subjects - Gujarati, Mathematics, Environment, Hindi and English.
