In a significant administrative move, the Central Government has transferred the Chairman and Secretary of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) amid ongoing controversies surrounding the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. This decision comes alongside the formation of a special inquiry committee tasked with investigating the procurement process for OSM services. The OSM system, which allows for the digital evaluation of Class 12 answer sheets, has faced criticism from students, parents, and education experts, who have raised concerns about the evaluation process's transparency and accuracy. Many students have reported discrepancies between their answers and the marks they received, with some alleging that their evaluated answer sheets were not their own. The Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education recently convened to discuss these issues, focusing on the implementation of the OSM system and the three-language formula in Classes 9 and 10. Complaints highlighted the quality of answer sheet scanning and the complexities involved in result verification, prompting calls for greater transparency in the evaluation process.
