The Centre has transferred CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secretary Himanshu Gupta and launched an inquiry into the procurement of the Board's On-Screen Marking (OSM) services, marking a significant escalation in the government's response to concerns surrounding the examination body's digital evaluation framework.
The decision follows sustained criticism of CBSE's post-result processes and the functioning of its technology-driven services, which came under intense public scrutiny in the weeks after the declaration of Class 10 and 12 board examination results.
