The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is under scrutiny following numerous complaints from students and parents regarding its re-evaluation process after the Class 12 results were announced on May 13. Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has sought a detailed report from the Board, highlighting issues such as server downtime and payment gateway failures. Many students have reported receiving blurred or illegible scans of their evaluated answer sheets, with some noting that entire responses were left unmarked. The introduction of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system this year has drawn particular criticism, as it coincided with a notable decrease in the number of students scoring above 90%. In response to the overwhelming number of re-evaluation requests, CBSE has extended the application deadline to May 24 and is continuously monitoring reported issues. The Board has advised students and parents to remain calm and rely solely on official updates to mitigate anxiety and misinformation during this challenging period.
