Congress MP and chairman of Parliamentary Standing Committee on Education, Digvijay Singh wrote to Prime Minister Narendra Modi on June 5, warning that the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) order mandating third-language instruction for Class IX from July 1 is “likely to create serious disruption” and risks repeating the on-screen marking (OSM) row that hit millions of students nationwide. The committee noted that textbooks for regional languages envisaged under the National Curriculum Framework 2023 were not yet available. (PTI) Singh forwarded a signed representation from a group of concerned parents to the PM, calling the Three-Language Policy rollout mid-session “sudden” and “untenable.” The parents earlier wrote to Singh’s committee on June 5, requesting a full reversal of the mandatory policy for current Class IX students. “The sudden enforcement of this policy mid-session– without adequate teachers, textbooks, or transition time– is likely to create serious disruption, not unlike the chaos witnessed during the hasty implementation of CBSE’s OSM system, which adversely impacted lakhs of students across the country,” Singh wrote in his letter to Modi. …

NSUI moves Delhi HC against CBSE’s On-Screen Marking system for Class 12 exams

The National Students’ Union of India (NSUI) has moved the Delhi High Court by filing a Public Interest Litigation (PIL) challenging the implementation of the Central Board of Secondary Education`s (CBSE) newly introduced On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for evaluation of Class 12 board examination answer sheets.   The OSM system is a digital evaluation method where physical exam papers are scanned, digitally masked to hide students` identities, and evaluated by teachers on a computer screen. The plea, filed through NSUI President Vinod Jhakhar, has raised concerns over the fairness, transparency and reliability of the digital evaluation mechanism, alleging that thousands of students across the country faced issues such as blurred scans, missing pages, mismatched answer sheets, incomplete uploads and unexpectedly low marks following the declaration of Class 12 results.

They determine admission to universities, professional colleges, scholarship …

But earlier this month, she was attempting to open the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) re-evaluation portal — the website had been crashing for days as students across the country tried to obtain scanned copies of their answer books after the declaration of the Class 12 board examination results on May 13. For days, as she tried, the site would open briefly or freeze. Sachi thought the best bet to access it would be to wake up before dawn when, as she hoped, fewer students would be online. “It finally worked,” she recalled, accessing her scanning answer books. For thousands of students like Sachi, CBSE’s On-Screen Marking (OSM), a digital evaluation system introduced for Class 12 board examination for the first time this year, has raised major concerns about possible errors in their result. Many have even questioned if the scanned answer books they …
