Union Minister Dharmendra Pradhan admitted discrepancies in CBSE’s first-ever OSM-based Class 12 evaluation process involving 98 lakh answer sheets and 40 crore scanned pages, assuring students that re-evaluation and corrections will be carried out.

New Delhi: Facing growing concerns over discrepancies in CBSE Class 12 evaluations, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan on Wednesday said the government will ensure that “not a single student’s concern goes unresolved” as the board begins a re-evaluation process linked to its first-ever On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.

Pradhan visited the headquarters of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in Dwarka and held a review meeting with senior officials after complaints surfaced regarding evaluation irregularities in some Class 12 papers.

The Minister acknowledged that the transition to the new digital evaluation system had faced challenges but defended the broader move towards technology-driven assessment.
