Dharmendra Pradhan Assures Students Over OSM Discrepancies

The Union Education Minister stated that all answer sheets have been securely preserved and students need not worry about losing marks due to technical or evaluation-related issues. He emphasized that the government and CBSE are committed to resolving every legitimate complaint raised by students.

Pradhan said, “No student query or concern will go unanswered,” while assuring that corrective measures and proper solutions would be implemented wherever required.

What Is the CBSE On-Screen Marking (OSM) System?

The On-Screen Marking (OSM) system is a digital evaluation process introduced by CBSE to make answer sheet assessment more transparent and efficient. Under this system, students can access scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets and verify whether any question or section was left unchecked during the marking process.

According to the minister, the digital system also allows students to better understand the distribution of marks and reduces the possibility of manual evaluation errors.

CBSE is currently conducting the re-evaluation and verification process for Class 12 students, and further updates regarding discrepancy resolution are expected to be shared on the official board website.
