Overview
- A vacation bench of the Delhi High Court declined urgent relief on Friday, refusing to order CBSE to reopen the re‑evaluation portal and listing the PIL for the roster bench in July.
- Solicitor General Tushar Mehta argued the move would delay admissions for about 17.8 lakh Class 12 students and noted the portal had already handled 1.67 lakh re‑evaluation requests and about 3.8 lakh answer sheets.
- CBSE and government sources acknowledge widespread scanning problems under the new On‑Screen Marking system, reporting around 68,000 poor scans, tens of thousands of rescans and more than 13,000 answer sheets still needing manual checks.
- The NSUI's petition seeks a month‑long reopening, physical verification, compensatory marks in some cases and an independent inquiry into alleged mismatches, blurred pages and other OSM errors.
- A cybersecurity researcher has publicly claimed potential vulnerabilities in the OnMark portal but those allegations remain publicly reported and have not been judicially verified.
