CBSE's digital evaluation system likely to continue next year; sources defend mechanism amid OSM controversy Defending the controversial system, senior ministry sources told ANI that the scale of issues being highlighted online was limited compared to the overall magnitude of the examination process. The OSM system, introduced this year for Class 12 board examinations, replaced physical checking of answer sheets with digitally scanned copies evaluated on-screen by examiners. Asked whether the system would continue next year, the official indicated that CBSE was unlikely to abandon the mechanism entirely. "I am sure it will continue. CBSE will assess the entire process and try to ensure that no child is inconvenienced. All systems are continuously being strengthened and made better," a senior official said on condition of anonymity. The remarks come amid growing outrage among students who accessed scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets through the re-evaluation portal and alleged that several pages were blurred or unreadable.

Students also claimed that some answers were left unchecked, step marking was ignored in numerical subjects and marks awarded on pages did not match the final total reflected in the results.
