IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur are reviewing system issues. Coempt vs TCS bidding controversy emerges. Board defends tech and plans DigiLocker integration next year for transparency.

New Delhi: Around 20 cases of answer-sheet mix-up were detected in CBSE's first-time on-screen marking (OSM) process this year, while nearly 13,000 answer sheets had to be evaluated manually, government sources said on Friday.

The students flagged the mix-up cases after accessing scanned copies uploaded on the portal and finding the answer sheets did not belong to them.

"There was a case of Vedant. Vedant got the answer sheet, and to his horror, he discovered that this was not his answer sheet. There was a mix-up in scanning... There was a girl called Sanjana too," the sources said.

A class 12 student, Vedant, earlier went viral when he alleged that the Physics answer sheet uploaded by the CBSE under the revaluation process was not his. Several other students, including Sanjana, also took to social media with similar claims.
