DPA chief Aprajita Gautam claimed CBSE's OSM trial for Class 12 evaluation was too short and involved too few teachers. She alleged many teachers lacked time to practise because of school duties. CBSE said the digital system eliminates totalling and mark-transfer errors, but Gautam sought public state-wise data on evaluators and re-evaluation applications after student complaints.

New Delhi, Jun 4: The Delhi Parents Association (DPA) has alleged that the CBSE rollout of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for Class 12 answer sheet evaluation was rushed and implemented without adequate preparation, training or feedback from teachers.

The government and CBSE have maintained that the OSM system was introduced to enhance transparency, accuracy and efficiency in the evaluation process.

The board has asserted that the digital system eliminates errors in totalling and mark transfer, ensures greater accountability in assessment and provides a more standardised evaluation mechanism.

Speaking to PTI, DPA president Aprajita Gautam claimed that the trial run for the digital evaluation system was conducted over a short period and involved only a limited number of teachers.
