Education Minister Vows Zero Tolerance for Class 12 Exam Lapses

Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan convened a crucial review meeting at the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in response to controversies surrounding the Class 12 evaluation process. He assured that any form of negligence or error would lead to decisive action to uphold transparency and efficiency in resolving student concerns.

Pradhan emphasized the government's commitment to a student-friendly examination framework. Despite criticism, CBSE defended its On Screen Marking System, stating it is backed by a secure digital infrastructure. Amid these discussions, a technical team will scrutinize system stability to address login and service issues, guaranteeing uninterrupted student access.

Following allegations from opposition leader Rahul Gandhi regarding irregularities in the exam results, Pradhan rebuffed the claims and reiterated the accountability of the education system. While Gandhi called for an investigative inquiry into the matter, Pradhan underscored the priority of reducing student stress and maintained that this was not the moment for political debates.
