The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has strongly rejected allegations regarding the improper scanning of Class 12 answer sheets under its On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. In response to media reports claiming inadequate preparation and time constraints, CBSE clarified that the evaluation process was conducted with strict adherence to established guidelines and quality checks. The Board emphasized its commitment to fairness and transparency in the examination process, stating that all stages of the OSM, including scanning, marking, and evaluation, were monitored closely. This clarification comes amid rising concerns from students and parents about discrepancies in marks following the Class 12 board examination results. Many students reported receiving lower marks than expected, prompting CBSE to issue multiple statements to reassure them about the accuracy of the evaluation system. The OSM system was initially introduced in 2014 but faced implementation challenges due to technological limitations. However, with advancements in digital tools, CBSE has resumed the OSM process, ensuring thorough monitoring and verification throughout the evaluation stages.
