Rahul Gandhi, leader of the opposition, has accused the Modi government of failing to address numerous complaints regarding the evaluation process of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exams. He stated that students, including a 17-year-old boy whose answer sheet was misgraded, faced abuse and were labeled anti-national for voicing their concerns. Gandhi noted that 18.5 lakh students took the exam, with serious questions raised about the evaluation process, particularly after the introduction of the new OSM (Optical Mark Recognition) system. He criticized the Education Minister for inaction amidst widespread complaints about marking errors and evaluation glitches. Statistics reveal a troubling trend, with the passing percentage dropping to 85.20% in 2026, despite previous increases in earlier years. In response to student backlash, the CBSE has promised refunds for incorrect fees charged during the application for scanned answer sheets and extended the application deadline to May 25, 2026.
