Meanwhile, the National Students Union of India (NSUI), the student wing of the Congress, filed a petition in the Delhi High Court on Tuesday requesting an independent probe into the alleged large-scale irregularities in the CBSE’s on-screen marking system for Class 12.

It is noteworthy that OSM is a digital system of evaluation of answer sheets, in which the answer sheets of the students are scanned and uploaded online and the examiners give marks by checking them on the computer screen.

In the PIL filed by NSUI, a request has been made to conduct offline re-evaluation and physical verification of the answer sheets of the complaining students. The vacation bench of the court can hear the case on June 8.
