'Beware of pickpockets': Rahul slams Govt. over CBSE re-evaluation cost
Rahul Gandhi, leader of the Congress, criticized the Modi government over the CBSE's re-evaluation process, alleging that errors are not corrected but multiplied due to treating education as a business. He highlighted the financial burden on students who face costs for scanning, re-totalling, and re-evaluation, with some paying up to ₹2,000 for accurate evaluation of their answer sheets. Gandhi also criticized the centralized nature of the system, claiming it leads to critical failures when one node fails. He shared video clips from a conversation with students who experienced issues with the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system and expressed concern about the financialization of education.
