She wrote on her X (formerly Twitter) handle:

“How can I reply for remarking? How can I get a credit in all other subjects apart from Physics? I know how hard I worked and I know what I wrote.

"I checked the question booklet we were given and I can beat my chest that the lowest I would get in a sane environment is nothing less than a C4.

“This is very unfair and cruel. Even the rest of my subjects were not marked fairly. I'm supposed to get a C4 and above."
