Supreme Court asks CBSE to address digital marking complaints
Published
The Supreme Court asked the Central Board of Secondary Education to protect students who say problems with its on-screen marking system reduced their scores and jeopardised entrance-based admissions. Some courses had already begun while the challenge remained pending. The court has not determined that the system caused every disputed mark or specified a final remedy.
Why it matters
Admission deadlines mean delayed corrections can cost students an academic year even when errors are later found. CBSE’s response will test how examination reforms handle transition failures and individual review.
Evidence assessment
