Initially it was shown that she got only 20 marks out of 100 in Telugu. As many as 26 students had committed suicide after the results were declared.
Following a cry by parents and students, the Telangana government ordered recounting of marks and re-verification of answer sheets free of cost for 3-lakh students who had failed.
Her sister found out that she had secured 48 marks and she was declared passed in the re-verification. A total of 1137 students had their marks increased after the re-verification.
HT further reports that, BIE secretary A Ashok said none of those who had failed had actually cleared the examination and they would have anyway passed even after re-verification and recounting. But the girl has scored 28 more marks and passed.
