The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is facing intense scrutiny after multiple Class 12 students reported serious discrepancies in their evaluated answer sheets under the newly implemented On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. The controversy escalated after Vedant, a Delhi-based student, took to social media platform X to allege that the Physics answer sheet uploaded by CBSE did not match his handwriting or responses. Vedant claimed that the scanned copy he received during the re-evaluation process appeared to belong to another student entirely, raising concerns about potential answer-sheet exchanges or tagging errors in the OSM system. CBSE officials later confirmed a mix-up and stated that Vedant’s original answer sheet was located and handed over to him on May 25, 2026.
