Concerns include technical glitches, evaluation discrepancies, and procurement irregularities. A one-member inquiry committee, led by S. Radha Chauhan of the Capacity Building Commission, has been constituted to investigate the procurement process of OSM services and will submit its report within a month. The government has also appointed Lokhande Prashant Sitaram as the new CBSE chairman. Opposition parties have called for accountability from the Education Ministry, while CBSE denies wrongdoing and emphasizes ongoing re-evaluation efforts.
