Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan said technical problems on the CBSE On-Screen Marking (OSM) portal will be resolved soon [3].
The issues affect the Central Board of Secondary Education's attempt to modernize examination reforms through a new online evaluation system. Because these glitches caused widespread inconvenience for students, the government is under pressure to ensure the integrity of the marking process.
Pradhan addressed student concerns regarding the portal's stability and performance [1]. He said that the grievances of the students would be addressed and promised that the technical failures would not compromise the final results [3].
"Solution will be found," Pradhan said [2].
The minister took personal accountability for the failures of the digital transition. "I take responsibility, it will be…" he said during a recent interview [2].
Beyond fixing the technical errors, Pradhan promised strict action against any intentional irregularities found within the system [1]. The government aims to restore confidence in the OSM portal as a reliable tool for academic assessment [1].
"CBSE OSM Issues To Be Fixed Soon," Pradhan said [3].
“"Solution will be found."”
The transition to On-Screen Marking represents a significant shift in India's massive educational infrastructure. Technical failures in such a high-stakes environment can lead to widespread distrust in academic credentials and administrative competence. By taking personal responsibility, the Education Minister is attempting to mitigate public outcry and prevent legal challenges from students regarding their final grades.
