CBSE Chairman and Secretary Transferred; Inquiry Ordered into On-Screen Marking Procurement
The Central government has transferred CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secretary Himanshu Gupta amid widespread concerns over the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system used in Class 12 board examinations. Students reported issues such as blurred scans, missing pages, and evaluation discrepancies. In response, a one-member inquiry committee led by S. Radha Chauhan, Chairperson of the Capacity Building Commission, has been formed to investigate the procurement process of OSM services. The committee is expected to submit its report within a month to the Department of Personnel and Training.
