The National Students Union of India (NSUI) filed a petition in the Delhi High Court challenging the Central Board of Secondary Education's (CBSE) On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. The NSUI claims the digital evaluation process contains errors impacting Class 12 students' results. The group seeks court intervention to address these alleged problems.
Court Challenge to CBSE On-Screen Marking
The NSUI's petition requests a review of the OSM system. They are asking for affected students to verify their results. The petition also calls for re-evaluation of answer sheets and a thorough investigation into the digital marking process. This action follows widespread concern from students and parents regarding inaccuracies in the 2024 CBSE Class 12 results.
The NSUI states that students should not face disadvantages due to technical issues with the assessment system. They are advocating for improved grievance redressal mechanisms for students dissatisfied with their marks.
NSUI's Prior Concerns
Prior to the court filing, the NSUI had already voiced opposition to the CBSE's OSM policy. The student organization argues the system is unfair and flawed. They advocate for a return to traditional answer sheet evaluation methods. This is until the digital system can be made more robust and reliable.
NSUI leaders contend that the OSM system has led to errors in evaluating answer scripts. They urge CBSE to reinstate physical marking until the digital process is perfected. CBSE has not yet commented on the court petition. The High Court is expected to review the matter soon.
Background on OSM
CBSE implemented the On-Screen Marking system to streamline and digitize the examination evaluation process. The goal was to increase efficiency and speed. However, a growing number of students report issues with the system. They claim it has led to incorrect results. Students and the NSUI are calling for greater transparency in CBSE's result preparation methods.
Both the NSUI and affected students are pushing for significant changes to the current OSM system. The petition seeks to address these concerns through judicial review.
