Supreme Court to Hear Plea on CBSE On-Screen Marking System and Student Admission Issues
The Supreme Court will hear a plea on August 21 seeking directions for the Centre and CBSE to establish regulations for the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system used in evaluating Class 12 exams. The court noted concerns that some students, despite passing their CBSE exams, faced admission challenges due to OSM scores affecting eligibility for undergraduate courses, with some courses already underway. A commission has been formed to review the evaluation system and suggest improvements.
