मुख्य बातें
- •A four-member team from IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur has been appointed to audit the CBSE’s IT ecosystem following complaints from Class 12 students about errors in answer sheet evaluation.
- •Over four lakh students have requested scanned copies of 11 lakh answer sheets, citing issues such as blurry scans, incorrect totals, missing sheets, and a low pass rate of 85.20%, the lowest since 2019.
- •The audit will investigate procedural gaps in the CBSE’s ‘Onscreen Marking System’ and recommend solutions for re-totalling and re-evaluation of answer sheets.
- •The CBSE’s re-evaluation portal has faced crashes and failed payment transactions, possibly due to cyberattacks or a surge in user requests overwhelming the system.
Following widespread complaints from Class 12 students regarding discrepancies in the evaluation of their answer sheets, a four-member expert team—comprising two members each from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras and IIT Kanpur—has been formed to conduct a comprehensive audit of the Central Board of Secondary Education’s (CBSE) IT infrastructure. The team, led by V. Kamakoti, Director of IIT Madras, will submit a confidential report to the CBSE with recommendations on improving the evaluation process, including re-totalling of marks and re-evaluation of questions.
