Why It Matters
CBSE's OSM system faced scrutiny after errors in answer sheets
Rahul Gandhi met CBSE Class 12 students, including Vedant Shrivastava, who faced online backlash for reporting discrepancies in his Physics answer sheet. Gandhi criticised the BJP-led government for insulting students instead of addressing their concerns. The controversy began after Vedant claimed the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE under his roll number did not belong to him, sparking a debate over the board's On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. CBSE later acknowledged the error and shared the correct answer book with him.
In a video shared by Gandhi, Vedant recalled being labelled "anti-national" and "Pakistani". Gandhi stated, "You're just asking for your answer sheet, yet you're called anti-nationals. They blame you instead of solving the problem." The incident highlights issues with the OSM system and the backlash faced by students seeking corrections.
