Rahul Gandhi had said on May 30 that this year four examinations were held, one crore children appeared. Not a single one could be done honestly – file photo
Congress leader Rahul Gandhi has made allegations of corruption in the tender process of CBSE. He claimed that the answer sheets of the students were scanned using mobile phones instead of automatic robotic scanners.
While sharing X post of student Sarthak Siddhant, Rahul Gandhi said that the tender for on-screen marking system was re-issued in August. At that time many important conditions were removed and the quality of scanning was also reduced from 300 DPI to 200 DPI.
Rahul said that blurred answer sheets, missing pages and non-scanning of many copies are not just technical mistakes. According to him, all this is the result of a contract made to benefit a particular vendor.
Rahul’s statement on CBSE’s OSM system and tender process
- This is a fraud. And every child whose marks have been wrongly evaluated is a victim of this fraud.
- Dharmendra Pradhan still remains in his post. This silence of Modi ji is no longer just his indifference. This shows their complicity in this crime.
- When education is made a business and not a service, then the mistake cannot be rectified. It is increased and our children are paying the biggest price for it. From your time, confidence and future.

Question from student Siddhant Kumar…
Student Siddhant Kumar has reportedly shared photos of the scanned copies. He has written- CBSE, you said that you used scanners to scan these copies. Now that these copies are available for public viewing, would you please tell which copies have ‘drop shadow’ when scanned with a scanner. And how did these three folds come about?
Rahul also raised questions on Revel’s fees
Rahul also raised questions on the Central Government and the Board regarding the fees for CBSE answer sheet verification and revaluation. He wrote on X post-
Beware of pickpockets – today they are sitting inside CBSE. What do you get if the marks are wrong due to CBSE’s mistake? One bill, a child may have to pay up to ₹ 2000 to check his/her correct answer sheet. Imagine, when 4 lakh children have submitted such applications, how much CBSE is earning. When the scanning is done through phone, wrong marking is certain. And the child is paying the cost of getting it repaired. CBSE’s mistake. Punishment of the child. Government’s earnings.
Also met CBSE 12th students a day ago
Rahul Gandhi met the students of CBSE class 12th. He had posted a 1.30 minute video of his interaction with students on X. Wrote in the caption – The courageous youth who asked easy questions to CBSE and Modi government, got insults instead of answers.
In the video, the students told Rahul – When we asked questions about the answer sheet, we were called anti-national, deep state agents (spies), terrorists and Pakistanis. Rahul laughingly said – 17 years old deep state agents.
Vedant was also included among the students Rahul spoke to. A post by Vedant had gone viral, in which he had claimed that during re-evaluation, someone else’s copy was uploaded on the portal instead of his Physics copy. After Vedanta, many other students also made similar complaints. Read the full news…
Now read, what was the conversation between Rahul and the students-
- Vedanta- My exam went very well but my marks were not good. After that we had the option to apply for a photocopy of our answer sheet if the marks were less. When I saw the photocopy of the Physics answer sheet, my handwriting was on the first page. There was someone else’s handwriting on the other pages. After this I saw that this was not my sheet, so I brought my problem to X. I got support from people there because this is a completely different matter.
- Second student- But when people’s anger started increasing over this, in order to pacify us, they thought that we were some deep state agents who were trying to spread unrest in India.
- Rahul (laughing) – 17 year old deep state agents, brother, show the faces of these terrorists.
- Student- Soros.
- Rahul (laughing)- Soros? Soros came in the middle of this. Pakistan, Soros, everyone has come.
- Second student- They started calling us anti-national and Pakistani.
- A male name- This is crazy.
- Second student- This is very crazy, this is not right.
- A male name- You guys are students. You have nothing to do with all this. You are asking about your answer sheet. That is all. Now suddenly you have become anti-national. You have to acknowledge the problem you want to solve. You are simply refusing to acknowledge the problem. You (government) are blaming the poor children. They are saying that students are deep state, spies and terrorists. Did you also say terrorist?
- Student- Yes, everyone said.
- Rahul (laughing)- Well done
Congress said- privacy of 20 lakh students is in danger
Congress has targeted the Central Government over the OSM process of CBSE, alleging that copies of about 20 lakh Class 12 students were available in the public domain. Congress General Secretary Jairam Ramesh has described this as a big data leak and a serious threat to the privacy of students.
May 27: Rahul had raised questions on the company doing OSM work.
On May 27, Rahul Gandhi had also raised questions on COEMPT, the company doing OSM work. He said that the COEMPT company to which CBSE has given the contract for digital evaluation of the exam, was earlier named Globarina.
Rahul questioned why the CBSE contract was given to COEMPT and on whose advice. Which rules and procedures were bypassed and the contract was given to this company? COEMPT was earlier embroiled in controversies under the name Globarina, why did CBSE not know this? What is the relationship between COEMPT management and Modi government.
CBSE said- rules were followed in awarding the contract to the company
However, CBSE rejected Rahul’s allegations. In a statement issued by CBSE Headquarters, it was said that all the General Finals Rules and prescribed procedures were followed in awarding the contract to COEMPT Edutech. The allegations are false, misleading and not based on facts.
CBSE says that this makes checking faster and more accurate and reduces errors in adding marks or data entry. After the results the opposite happened. Students complained about server down, payment failure and blurred pages.
COEMPT accused of irregularities in Telangana board exam
COEMPT Edutech is a company based in Darabad, Telangana. This firm does digital evaluation work in states like Telangana, Karnataka and West Bengal. In 2019, its name was Globarena Technologies Pvt. Ltd.
Then it was accused of irregularities in data processing in the 12th board exam in Telangana. That year, more than 3 lakh out of 9.74 lakh children in the state had failed.
