Rahul Gandhi, the Leader of Opposition in the Lok Sabha, has escalated his allegations against the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), claiming that recent changes in tender rules compromised the integrity of the Class 12 evaluation process. He asserted that answer sheets were scanned using mobile phones instead of proper robotic scanners, leading to blurred copies and missing pages. Gandhi's claims were prompted by a social media post from Sarthak Sidhant, a Class 12 student from Jharkhand, who analyzed public procurement documents. He noted that the original tender issued in May 2025 required a scanning resolution of 300 DPI, which was later reduced to 200 DPI in subsequent revisions. Gandhi criticized the government for its silence on the issue, stating that it reflects complicity in the alleged fraud affecting over 18 lakh students. In response to the allegations, CBSE is reportedly preparing to take action against its on-screen marking service provider, Coempt Edu Teck, which may include penalties for technical issues related to the evaluation process.
