The Supreme Court will hear on August 21 a plea seeking regulations for CBSE’s On-Screen Marking system used for evaluating answer sheets. The petition raised concerns over students facing admission issues due to CBSE scores. The bench of CJI Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana asked CBSE to explore ways to protect affected students’ interests.

New Delhi, Aug 14: The Supreme Court on Friday said it would hear on August 21 a plea seeking directions to the Centre and the CBSE to frame regulations for conducting exams through the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.

The CBSE's OSM evaluation system is a digital grading method where teachers assess scanned copies of physical answer sheets on a computer instead of checking physical paper scripts.

The plea came up for hearing before a bench of Chief Justice of India (CJI) Surya Kant and Justices Joymalya Bagchi and V Mohana.

The counsel appearing for the petitioner told the bench that some students have passed their Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) exams and subsequently appeared for entrance examinations for other courses.
