Rahul Gandhi, the leader of the Congress party, criticized the Modi government for its handling of complaints regarding errors in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exam evaluations. He claimed that students raising concerns have faced abuse, with one student being labeled 'anti-national' on social media. Gandhi pointed out that 18.5 lakh students took the exam, and serious questions about the evaluation process have emerged, particularly following the introduction of the new Online Scanning Method (OSM). The pass percentage for 2026 saw a sharp decline to 85.20%, raising alarm among students and parents. In response to the backlash, the CBSE announced refunds for students who were overcharged for scanned copies of their answer sheets and extended the application deadline to May 25, 2026.
