Aparajita Gautam from the Delhi Parents Association has highlighted serious issues with the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) On-Screen Marking (OSM) system introduced this year. Due to a shortage of qualified Post Graduate Teachers (PGTs), Trained Graduate Teachers (TGTs), who typically teach up to Class 10, were assigned to evaluate Class 12 answer scripts. This decision has resulted in subpar evaluations, leaving many students and parents dissatisfied. Gautam noted that the training provided to these teachers was rushed and poorly monitored, leading to further concerns about the quality of assessments. The emotional toll on students has been significant, especially those preparing for competitive exams like JEE and NEET. With around 6.5 lakh students officially raising objections against the digital evaluation system, the number is believed to be much higher. Moreover, the reliance on technology for marks verification poses challenges for students from government schools, particularly in rural areas, where access to laptops and reliable internet is limited. Gautam's comments reflect a growing frustration among parents and students regarding the impact of these changes on their futures.
