Class 12 student Sarthak Sidhant has ignited a national debate on India's board exam system with his blog analyzing the CBSE's On-Screen Marking (OSM) system and tender documents. His findings, based on official records, have led to questions from opposition leaders and calls for government accountability.
CBSE chairperson Rahul Singh and secretary Himanshu Gupta were removed from their posts amid criticism over the digital evaluation system. A one-member inquiry committee has been formed to investigate the procurement of the on-screen marking system.
India's education ministry is initiating an internal crackdown at CBSE over alleged irregularities and security vulnerabilities in a tender for its digital evaluation system. Explanations from CBSE have been deemed unsatisfactory, with accountability likely to be fixed at multiple levels.
