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.
CBSE Class 12 OSM Portal Controversy: Students Demand Grace Marks
Despite the clarification, many students continued questioning the evaluation process and demanded grace marks on social media.
One student wrote:
Sir please try to understand, please don't compromise our future, our career, our life. If you give 15-20 grace marks in each subjects to every students it will not harm you or the body. CBSE don't have to apologise or confirm the fact that you guys are the defaulter here.

Another user questioned CBSE's statement regarding "no irregularities" and posted:
Same year, same script. First NTA called paper leak claims fake, then exams got cancelled. Now CBSE says OSM has “no irregularities” while students are finding unchecked answers and wrong marking in scanned copies. Truly “errorless” checking.
