'Beware of pickpockets': Rahul slams Govt. over CBSE re-evaluation cost

  • On Monday, Lok Sabha Rahul Gandhi attacked the Modi government and CBSE, arguing that treating education as a business causes errors to multiply rather than be corrected.
  • Concerns emerged after Class 12 student Vedant alleged his Physics answer sheet was mismatched under CBSE's revaluation process, with viral claims suggesting mobile-based scanning causes incorrect marking.
  • Gandhi noted 400,000 students applied for re-evaluation, stating, "The mistake belongs to the CBSE. The punishment falls on the student." Students bear costs for system errors.
  • The Board treats mismatched cases on "top priority," engaging experts from IIT-Madras and IIT-Kanpur to strengthen the OnMark portal and payment gateway integration.
  • Gandhi criticized the system as "financialised" and centralized, arguing, "So there is a structural problem now in the Indian education system." Decentralization could mitigate cascading failures.
