The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has come under fire following the introduction of a new onscreen marking system for Class 12 examinations. This system, which involved scanning paper answer sheets for digital evaluation, has led to significant issues, including mismatched answer sheets and unexpectedly low marks for many students. As a result, some students discovered that the answer sheets uploaded under their names were not theirs, raising serious concerns about the accuracy and fairness of the marking process. The situation has prompted outrage among students and parents, particularly as these marks are crucial for college admissions. Despite CBSE's acknowledgment of the errors and its attempts to correct them, trust in the new system has been severely compromised. Complaints about blurred answer sheets and technical glitches further highlight the inadequacies of the rushed implementation. Critics argue that without thorough testing and secure infrastructure, such digitised processes should not be introduced, especially when they impact students' futures.
