The announcement of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 results 2026 has sparked a wave of reactions from students on social media, with many alleging that the newly implemented Onscreen Marking System (OSM) and AI-assisted evaluation may have resulted in unexpectedly low scores.
CBSE declared the Class 12 results on May 13, reporting an overall pass percentage of 85.20 per cent. This reflects a decline from last year’s 88.39 per cent — a drop of 3.19 per cent points.
Soon after the CBSE results were released, numerous students took to microblogging platform X to voice their disappointment and frustration over their marks. Many blamed the newly introduced digital evaluation process that may have failed to properly assess lengthy answers, diagrams, and step-wise markings.
Blurred scanned answer sheets: Many students who accessed their scanned copies claimed that parts of the answer sheets were unclear, were of low-resolution, and were difficult to read.
Missing or improperly scanned pages: Some students alleged that pages, diagrams, graphs, equations, or margin notes were missing or not captured properly during scanning.
Wrong or mismatched answer sheets: A few students claimed the uploaded answer sheet did not belong to them, with handwriting and attempted answers allegedly not matching their originals.
Inconsistent marking: Many students felt their scores were unexpectedly low compared to school performance, pre-boards, or competitive exam preparation. Complaints included missing step-marking in numericals and inconsistent evaluation standards.

CBSE’s new OSM (On-Screen Marking) system affected many students this year. Low scores, strict correction, blurred scans, inconsistent checking, and rushed digital evaluation impacted results badly. Students’ futures should not become experiments. #OSMFailed— Gundu gopal (@miserable_eye) May 14, 2026
Thousands of CBSE Class 12 students are feeling devastated after unexpected low marks. If on-screen copy checking is missing steps, diagrams, or lengthy answers because of speed-based evaluation, then this is not just a “technical process” it directly impacts student #OSMfailed— Shreya Bishnoi (@BishnoiShr90176) May 13, 2026
Students are now seeking fair re-evaluation, proper access to answer sheets, and accountability in the assessment process.
Meanwhile, CBSE has defended the OSM system, saying it was introduced to improve transparency, reduce manual errors, and make evaluation more efficient. However, the volume of complaints has led to widespread demands for greater accountability, clearer communication, and a more accessible re-evaluation process.
