CBSE Class 12 OSM Portal Controversy: The CBSE On-Screen Marking (OSM) portal controversy has sparked strong reactions from students on social media. Although CBSE has clarified that the actual evaluation system was not compromised, many students are still upset over delays in getting scanned answer books, alleged checking mistakes, and confusion regarding the re-evaluation process. Some students are also demanding grace marks, saying the situation has affected their trust in the board's evaluation system. Social media platform X is filled with students' complaints, reactions, and emotional posts regarding the issue.
CBSE Clarifies OSM Portal Issue
CBSE HQ recently shared an official clarification regarding claims that the OSM portal had been compromised. The board stated that the URL being circulated online was only a testing portal containing sample data and not the actual evaluation system used for checking answer books.
According to CBSE, no security breach has been found in the real evaluation platform. The board also said that safeguards and grievance redressal systems are already in place to maintain transparency in assessments.
The board later shared another update stating that pending scanned answer book requests are expected to be completed by May 27, 2026. CBSE also informed students that the verification and re-evaluation portal is likely to go live by May 29, 2026.
