CBSE: The Class 12 OSM evaluation issue has been brought to the forefront by many students who reported receiving marks below their expectations. To resolve this issue, the Central Board of Secondary Education has come up with a multistep process to verify marks and eliminate discrepancies. This step came after many students took to various social media platforms to report that they received marks that were far lower than what they expected.
What Is the OSM Controversy?
OSM refers to On-Screen Marking, a form of digital evaluation adopted by the CBSE Board. In this process, scanned copies of the students’ answer sheets are reviewed electronically by examiners. Although this process was introduced to make the examination process more efficient, there seems to be an issue with the accuracy of the marks in the recent results.

Students May Obtain Marked Sheets
One of the major aspects of the new review process is that the candidates will receive copies of their evaluated answer sheets. This step is bound to boost the credibility of the exam process and help the students in comprehending the way marks were awarded.
