Congress leader Rahul Gandhi intensified his attack on CBSE over awarding the 2026 digital answer-sheet evaluation contract to Coempt Edutech, saying the board failed to answer key questions despite its denial of wrongdoing. Gandhi demanded a judicial probe and SIT investigation, alleging irregularities in the firm's selection, while CBSE maintained that all procurement norms were followed.

Congress Leader Rahul Gandhi, on Wednesday, intensified his attack on the Central Board of Secondary Education over the award of a contract for the digital evaluation of answer sheets, accusing the board of failing to answer key questions regarding the selection of private firm Coempt Edutech.

Responding to CBSE's clarification on social media, Gandhi said, "A denial is not an answer. Why are the Education Minister and CBSE unable to answer the four simple questions I have asked? The future of 18.5 lakh students have been put in jeopardy. They deserve the truth."

The remarks came after CBSE rejected allegations made by the Congress leader regarding the awarding of a contract to Coempt Edutech for the digital evaluation of answer books for the 2026 board examinations.

In a post on X, CBSE termed the allegations "erroneous, misleading and not based on facts." The board asserted that it had strictly followed the prescribed procedures while awarding the contract.
