The Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for Class 12 has come under scrutiny due to growing complaints of glitches and discrepancies in the re-evaluation process.

A Delhi student, Vedant Shrivastava, was trolled and abused on social media after flagging discrepancies in the CBSE OSM system, alleging that the Physics answer sheet uploaded by the board did not match his handwriting.

The CBSE acknowledged the mismatch and said Vedant's marks would be revised shortly.

Another student, Sanjana, also alleged that the Chemistry answer sheet uploaded during the revaluation process did not match her handwriting, and the CBSE confirmed her concern was valid.

The CBSE introduced OSM for Class 12 Board examinations from 2026, which digitally scans and evaluates answer books online, eliminating totaling errors and reducing manual intervention.
