The girl revealed to Sharma that she had received a score of 79% in her tenth-grade board examinations and believed she could have scored even higher in her twelfth-grade exams. According to her complaint, a 12th grade student from a Rajasthan school who was a victim of gang rape the previous year was denied the right to sit for her board exams.
She told NDTV that school officials were concerned that her presence might disrupt the learning atmosphere. In contrast, the school in Ajmer justified their actions by claiming that the girl had been missing from school for four months, resulting in her not earning an entrance card for the board exams.
In response, the student sought guidance from another instructor, who suggested that she contact the child helpline. Ajmer’s Child Welfare Commission (CWC) took note of the issue, filed a case, and launched an investigation.
Anjali Sharma, chair of the CWC, spoke with NDTV about the ongoing inquiry into a rape incident. Sharma stated that the primary goal of the probe is to assist the victim with her board exams. Sharma also spoke with the student about the rape.
The school had proposed that the girl complete her studies at home due to worries about how her presence would effect the school’s atmosphere. The child accepted to their proposition and began preparing for her board examinations at home, Sharma learned.
The girl told Sharma that she received a 79% on her tenth-grade board examinations and felt she could have done even better on her twelfth-grade exams. However, Sharma warned NDTV that she could miss a year owing to the school’s neglect.

Despite this, the school refused to furnish her with an entrance card for the board exams, claiming that she was no longer a student, according to the CWC chief. She further stated that the girl later discovered that the school had barred her from attending the grounds immediately following the rape incident because other parents objected to her presence.
