Srihari said several students appeared in the IPE-2019 examinations were shocked to see the online mark lists showing that they were absent for the examination.

He said that the issues have been brought to the notice of the Board.

However, instead of taking action against those responsible, the Board is putting the burden on the students to prove that they have attended the examination, so as to take further action, he added.
