Supreme Court Highlights Concerns Over CBSE On-Screen Marking Evaluation Issues
In summer 2026, India faced two major exam controversies affecting Class 12 students: NEET and CBSE's On-Screen Marking (OSM). While NEET irregularities led to widespread reforms and public debate, the CBSE-OSM issue, impacting nearly 18 lakh students, received less attention despite significant procedural problems. Many students could not access their evaluated scripts due to portal issues, and re-evaluations showed substantial mark changes. The Supreme Court has expressed concern over the evaluation system's integrity, emphasizing the need for transparent and reliable assessment processes.
