The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) faces scrutiny over its Class 12 on-screen marking system following reports of significant evaluation discrepancies. Students have reported unchecked questions, incorrect marking schemes, and the use of blurred scanned answer sheets. Technical glitches delayed the official re-evaluation portal, intensifying public criticism.
