Supreme Court Seeks Centre's Response on CBSE OSM Evaluation and Student Grievances
The Supreme Court, led by Chief Justice Surya Kant, sought the Centre and CBSE's response on issues related to the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for Class 12 exams. Around 1.68 lakh students applied for re-evaluation during a one-week grievance window. The government indicated that grace marks are not possible and that reopening the window may not be feasible due to other exam schedules. The court requested an affidavit detailing remedial measures and discussed establishing a permanent mechanism to address OSM glitches.
