Rahul questions CBSE contract awarded to COEMPT

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi said on Friday that Prime Minister Narendra Modi?s silence on the CBSE debacle and inaction against the Education Minister showed that he cared only about the survival of his government and not the future of lakhs of students.

In a post on X, Gandhi said he had been demanding an independent judicial probe from day one into the CBSE?s on-screen marking (OSM) and the award of the contract to COEMPT, as the youth of the country



deserved to know the truth.

Gandhi shared media reports and called upon people to read them carefully.

?CBSE called for OSM tenders thrice. Zero bids the first time. No qualified bidder the second time. And finally, the technical bar was lowered until COEMPT could clear it. Scanning resolution cut. Robotic scanner requirement dropped. CMMI certification lowered from Level 5 to Level 3. Penalties for errors in answer sheets removed.
