CBSE Class 12 OSM website tender row: Rahul Gandhi alleges answer sheets were scanned on phones
Allegations of manipulated tenders and compromised evaluation of student answer sheets raise serious concerns.
Rahul Gandhi, Congress leader, has accused the CBSE and its vendor, COEMPT Edu Teck, of using mobile phones to scan Class 12 answer sheets instead of professional equipment. Gandhi alleges that the tender process was manipulated to favor COEMPT, resulting in compromised security and inaccurate evaluation scores. Students are reporting blurred scans, missing pages, and discrepancies between their answers and the uploaded copies. Nisarga Adhikary, an ethical hacker, also exposed vulnerabilities in the OSM portal, raising concerns about data security. The CBSE has acknowledged these issues and is working to address them.
