Representative Aparajita Gautam said students & parents were disappointed due to marking issues affecting scores.

New Delhi: Amidst the ongoing controversy surrounding the discrepancies of On-Screen Marking (OSM) portal in CBSE's Class 12th exam results, representative of the Delhi Parents Association (DPA), Aparajita Gautam has said that the issue left many parents and students disappointed due to shortcomings in the OSM portal.

Speaking to ANI, Gautam highlighted the importance of Class 12th CBSE exams, saying that the future of the students depends upon the results, adding that they remain focused on competitive examinations such as JEE and NEET. However, due to the discrepancies in the OSM portal, the students couldn't achieve the desired result they wanted.

"After the 12th board exams, and CBSE results, their future is decided.. Because of shortcomings in OSM (On-Screen Marking), many parents and children are disappointed. Students don't just prepare in Class 12; they've been working for years, knowing their future depends on it. Students remain focused on competitive exams like JEE and NEET. But due to OSM, many didn't achieve the required marks, causing stress for families and children. Now, they question why this was introduced suddenly without a proper test run," said Gautam.

Furthermore, the DPA representative suspected higher number of complaints than CBSE's official figure, while pointing out the lack of training given to teachers without any follow-up meetings. She further stated that all the examination answer sheets were supposed to be checked by PGT teachers; however, due to shortage, TGT teachers were also involved in the process.
