Supreme Court Reviews CBSE Class 12 OSM Re-evaluation and Government ResponsePreviousNext

The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, is reviewing issues related to the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) On-Screen Marking (OSM) for Class 12 exams. Around 1.68 lakh students applied for re-evaluation during a one-week window after discrepancies were reported. The Union government informed the court that granting grace marks to affected students is not feasible. The court has asked the government to submit an affidavit detailing remedial measures, while petitioners highlight challenges faced during re-evaluation.
