On May 23, John Brittas, the Rajya Sabha leader of the Communist Party of India (Marxist), addressed Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan regarding significant issues with the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for Class-12 evaluations. He highlighted complaints from students, parents, and educators about blurred scanned answer scripts, which hinder the verification of evaluations. Brittas pointed out that these issues raise questions about the fairness of assessments, especially since board exam results are critical for higher education admissions and scholarships. He also noted the absence of step-marking in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics, which could adversely affect students' scores. Furthermore, he expressed concern over technical problems in the re-evaluation process, where students have faced difficulties accessing their documents and completing applications within deadlines. Brittas urged the minister to initiate an independent review of the OSM system to address these concerns and suggested implementing supervisory verification mechanisms and extending re-evaluation timelines to safeguard students' interests during this transition to digital evaluation.
