A total of over 70 thousand applications have been received through the CBSE post-result grievance redressal process from Class 12th students. This includes seven thousand 314 applications for Verification of Marks and over 63 thousand applications for re-evaluation. CBSE had opened the online portal for verification of issues observed in scanned copies of answer books and re-evaluation of answers on Tuesday.
Following the declaration of Class 12th results on 13 May, a section of students expressed dissatisfaction with marks awarded and questioned the accuracy of evaluation under the On-Screen Marking system (OSM). The Ministry of Education initiated a review of the implementation and procurement aspects of the OSM system, including examination of vendor performance, contractual obligations and quality-control mechanisms.
As part of the accountability and confidence-building measures, Chairman CBSE Rahul Singh and Secretary CBSE Himanshu Gupta were transferred, and Prashant Lokhande was appointed as the new Chairman of CBSE. On the 2nd of this month, the Government had ordered an independent inquiry under S. Radha Chauhan, Chairperson, Capacity Building Commission, to examine procurement and implementation-related aspects of the OSM project.
