NEW DELHI, JUN 2 : The Centre has transferred CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secretary Himanshu Gupta and constituted a committee to inquire into the procurement of services for the board’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, amid concerns over irregularities in the digital evaluation process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) engulfed into a controversy after some class 12 students alleged that the scanned copies of their answer sheets uploaded by the board did not match their handwriting, raising concerns over possible answer-sheet mismatch in the OSM system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The chairman and secretary of CBSE have been transferred by the government, an official said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Concerns were raised by students and parents over the implementation of the OSM system in the CBSE board examination process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Centre has formed a one-member committee to inquire into matters relating to the procurement of services for the on-screen marking system by the CBSE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The committee will be chaired by S Radha Chauhan, Chairperson, Capacity Building Commission, a memorandum issued by the Cabinet Secretariat said on Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Chauhan has been empowered to obtain the assistance of officials from other departments, as required, while the Capacity Building Commission will provide secretarial assistance to the panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The committee will submit its report to the Department of Personnel and Training within one month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The memorandum addressed to Chauhan was shared with the Department of School Education and Literacy, and the Department of Personnel and Training.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The move comes amid students and parents raising concerns over the implementation of the on-screen marking OSM system in CBSE’s board examinations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The board has faced criticism over technical glitches, payment failures and delays in its verification and re-evaluation process, prompting demands for greater transparency and accountability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The controversy gained prominence after a Delhi student alleged that the Physics answer sheet shown under his roll number was not his own. CBSE later acknowledged at least one answer-sheet mismatch and provided the correct script to the student. However, similar complaints from other candidates raised questions about the reliability and transparency of the new digital evaluation mechanism.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Against this backdrop, the government has ordered a probe into the procurement process related to the OSM system while effecting changes in the board’s top leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
