New Delhi: Senior AAP leader and former Delhi education minister Manish Sisodia on Thursday criticised the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) over the controversy surrounding its On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, alleging that students were suffering due to irregularities in the evaluation process.

In a post on X, Sisodia said many students and parents were distressed by what he described as a "CBSE evaluation scam" and questioned why children's future was being affected.

He said the hard work of students had gone to waste due to alleged problems in the evaluation process and added that parents were finding it difficult to respond to their children's concerns.

The remarks came amid CBSE facing backlash over its new digital evaluation method introduced for class 12 board exams, with students claiming discrepancies and evaluation errors.
