The Delhi High Court has requested responses from the Central Government and the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) regarding a petition filed by the National Students' Union of India (NSUI). The petition addresses discrepancies in the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system used in CBSE examinations, which has raised concerns about fairness and transparency in the evaluation process. The court has scheduled a hearing for June 12. The NSUI argues that the OSM system has led to issues such as unreadable copies, missing pages, and unexpectedly low marks, affecting a large number of students. In response, CBSE's counsel claimed that the petition is not maintainable as NSUI is a student wing of a political party. However, the NSUI emphasizes its role in advocating for students, pointing out that many are minors and need representation. The petition seeks directions for compensatory marking and the reopening of the re-evaluation portal, highlighting the urgency of addressing these concerns given their potential impact on students' academic futures.
