CBSE OSM System Under Scrutiny as Students Question Result Transparency Following the release of the 2026 Class 12 CBSE results, debates over the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system have intensified on social media. Students and parents, particularly those who scored lower than expected in subjects like Physics, Chemistry, Biology, and Mathematics, have raised concerns about the fairness and accuracy of the evaluation process. Many claim their answer sheets were not assessed correctly, with some comparing their current scores to their previous academic performance. The controversy has sparked widespread online discussions, with critics questioning the reliability of the digital marking system. CBSE has clarified that the OSM system is a digital evaluation process designed to ensure transparency and impartiality. Under this system, answer sheets are scanned and reviewed on computer screens, with each response checked against a predefined marking scheme. The board emphasized that the process involves step-by-step evaluation to minimize human error and ensure consistent grading across all candidates. Officials stated that the system aims to reduce discrepancies between examiners and provide a standardized assessment framework. Despite these assurances, doubts persist among students and parents. Many argue that the OSM system has led to lower scores than anticipated, with some claiming that even well-prepared candidates have been penalized unfairly. The board acknowledged that students dissatisfied with their results can apply for rechecking and revaluation. This process, they said, will be conducted online and remain transparent to address any grievances. However, critics insist that the current system lacks sufficient safeguards and call for a thorough review of the evaluation process.#students #cbse #parents #osm_system #physics
