In response to significant concerns over the newly implemented On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for Class 12 evaluations, the Union Ministry of Education is now overseeing the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). This intervention comes after students reported various issues, including marking discrepancies and technical failures, which contributed to a 3.19% drop in the overall pass percentage, now at 85.20%, a multi-year low. The OSM system, which scanned approximately 98.6 lakh answer scripts evaluated by over 77,000 trained teachers, faced backlash as students noted low marks in key subjects like Physics and Mathematics. Complaints intensified during the re-evaluation phase, with many students alleging issues such as unreadable scans and mismatches in marks. To alleviate some financial pressure, the CBSE has reduced re-evaluation fees to ₹100 per subject. Despite the ongoing challenges, Ministry sources suggest that the OSM system will likely continue in the next academic year, with improvements planned for data handling and infrastructure.
