The answer

You must record the truth and submit the exam results as they are. The administration is responsible for determining the pass rate and disqualifying students based on their grades. You must not wrong any student by increasing or decreasing their grades. Those with low grades can be disqualified, or a special test can be arranged for them, or differentiation can be made based on other criteria such as good manners and diligence.
