Delhi High Court Seeks Centre and CBSE Response on NSUI Plea Over Class 12 On-Screen Marking Issues
The Delhi High Court has issued notices to the Centre and CBSE seeking their response to a Public Interest Litigation filed by the National Students' Union of India (NSUI) alleging large-scale irregularities and technical issues in the CBSE's On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for Class 12 exams. The petition requests an independent inquiry, reopening of the verification and re-evaluation portal for one month, manual rechecking, and compensatory marks for affected students. CBSE opposed the plea, questioning its maintainability due to NSUI's political affiliation, while NSUI argued it represents minors and cited similar petitions by other student groups. The court has scheduled the next hearing for June 12.
