The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to continue utilizing the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system developed by Hyderabad-based Coempt Edutek Private Limited for the re-evaluation of Class 12 answer sheets. This decision follows a series of criticisms and allegations from students claiming that the scanned copies of their answer sheets did not correspond to their handwriting, raising concerns about the accuracy of the OSM system. In response to these concerns, CBSE has taken proactive measures by transferring all relevant data from Coempt's servers to its own, thereby enhancing security against potential data breaches and cyberattacks. The contract with Coempt Edutek involves the scanning and digital evaluation of nearly 9.9 lakh answer books as part of CBSE's fully digitized evaluation system introduced this year. Despite the controversies, CBSE has rejected claims that the tender process favored Coempt over Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) and has labeled these allegations as misleading. The board asserts that the decision to retain Coempt was made to ensure the integrity and efficiency of the re-evaluation process.
