When the result came out, she opened DigiLocker first since the main portal was slow. The score came up: Mathematics improved to 79. She went through every field carefully.

One thing caught her eye her mother’s name had a single-letter spelling difference from her school records. She told her examination coordinator the same day. It was flagged with CBSE immediately.

She printed two copies of the document, and then she saved the PDF file to her Google Drive account. After that she used the hour to make a list of Class 11 schools, and for each Class 11 school she wrote down the admission deadlines for Class 11.
