Amid mounting scrutiny around CBSE’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, several reports indicating the board’s ignorance toward the inconsistencies flagged during the dry run have surfaced.Times Nowhas learnt that the concerned authorities were cautioned against the numerous red flags that popped up during the trial run.
During a pilot testing in Delhi, evaluators flagged various issues, including a pressing need for human interface in evaluation. According to sources, the OSM was “neither teacher-friendly nor learner-centric,” which put undue cognitive and physical strain on the evaluators.
Surprisingly, evaluators were ready to review extra copies in a manual way instead of shifting to the digital evaluation system. They were visibly hesitant to assess copies online because of the increased cognitive load, time consumption, and operational challenges.
