The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has implemented its On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for the evaluation of Class 12 exams, marking a significant shift from traditional paper-based assessments. This new digital evaluation process aims to provide a 'no touch, no dust' experience for examiners, with expectations of faster result announcements for 2026. CBSE Controller of Examinations Sanyam Bhardwaj highlighted that the evaluation period is expected to be reduced from 60 days to about 9 days, allowing for quicker results. Initial feedback from educators indicates a mix of challenges and benefits; while many teachers have adapted to the new system after training, some have reported technical difficulties, including slow-loading scripts and blurred scanned answer sheets. Despite these issues, the OSM system promises enhanced accuracy and monitoring, as it ensures that every question is evaluated and eliminates totalling errors. Educators believe that the full benefits of the system will become apparent as they gain more experience with the digital workflow. However, concerns about increased screen time and infrastructure disparities remain, with some schools lacking the necessary resources to support the new system effectively. Overall, while the transition to OSM is seen as a positive step, the true impact on evaluation timelines and accuracy will unfold in future cycles.
