Kapil Sibal, a senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP, has sharply criticized the Indian government regarding the ongoing issues with the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. Following the transfer of CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secretary Himanshu Gupta, Sibal accused the government of scapegoating lower officials while protecting higher authorities, including Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan. He called for investigations by the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) and Enforcement Directorate (ED) into alleged corruption linked to the OSM system. In response to the controversy, the Centre has established an inquiry committee led by S Radha Chauhan to examine procurement matters related to the OSM system, with a report expected within a month. The scrutiny comes amid reports of technical glitches and discrepancies in the evaluation process, prompting further examination by the Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education. CBSE has noted improvements to its re-evaluation portal, which has already recorded significant user submissions.
