Student activist Sarthak Sidhant flagged alleged irregularities in a Central Board of Secondary Education tendering process for on-screen marking to a parliamentary panel.
The 17-year-old submitted concerns about the CBSE OSM tender to lawmakers examining examination administration. He argued that procurement terms merited closer scrutiny for fairness and transparency.
CBSE officials have not publicly detailed a full response to each allegation. The board’s digital evaluation contracts affect millions of answer sheets annually.
Parliamentary committees can seek written replies from the education ministry and board leadership. The complaint places renewed focus on competitive bidding for high-stakes examination services in India.
