IIT Panel Clears CBSE Class 12 Re-evaluation Portal After Security Review
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has received final security clearance from an IIT-led panel for its Class 12 re-evaluation portal after addressing multiple cybersecurity vulnerabilities. The board discontinued using the Coempt EduTeck platform, which was found to have significant security weaknesses, and migrated data to CBSE-controlled infrastructure with enhanced safeguards. The IIT teams employed a red team-blue team audit and will monitor the system during re-evaluation. The inquiry into irregularities in the On-Screen Marking system continues amid concerns over cyberattacks and technical glitches.
