A 17-year-old student on Tuesday appeared before a Parliamentary Standing Committee to detail alleged irregularities in the CBSE's On-Screen Marking (OSM) system -- the same panel whose December 2025 report on the National Testing Agency (NTA) was rejected by Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan months before the NEET-UG 2026 was cancelled over a paper leak.
The story centers on Central Board of Secondary Education, OpenStreetMap, Procurement, and Parliament of India. It has drawn coverage across roughly 50 reports so far.
