The NSUI moved the Delhi High Court against the CBSE's On-Screen Marking system, alleging irregularities like blurred scans, missing pages, low marks, and lack of manual verification in Class 12 results.

Delhi: The National Students' Union of India (NSUI) has approached the Delhi High Court alleging “large-scale irregularities and deficiencies” in the newly introduced On-Screen Marking (OSM) system adopted by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) for Class 12 board examinations as per the Live Law report. 

NSUI President Vinod Jhakhar has filed the PIL demanding an independent probe into the digital evaluation process, the live law report said. The plea refers to several technical issues and failure of the grievance redressal mechanism related to the OSM system.

The Students' Union claimed that the petition has been filed in the larger public interest on behalf of lakhs of students who appeared for the CBSE Class 12 examinations under the newly implemented digital marking system.

According to the plea, the OSM system was introduced as a digital means of scanning and marking answer sheets. However, after the results were announced, students, parents and teachers across the country have reportedly raised concerns about blurred scans, missing pages, incomplete uploads, mismatch of answer sheets, shockingly low marks and the lack of an effective manual verification process.
