Coempt EduTeck, the technology provider for CBSE's digital evaluation system, has formally denied any software or security lapses in the platform. The company's response comes amid a controversy over reported discrepancies in answer-sheet marking during the recent board examinations.
In a statement, Coempt attributed the alleged discrepancies to factors other than its software or security infrastructure. The company maintained that the digital evaluation system functioned as designed and that no technical failures occurred on its part.
The controversy first emerged when some schools and teachers reported irregularities in the evaluation process, leading to questions about the reliability of the digital marking system. CBSE had introduced the digital evaluation platform to streamline the assessment of answer sheets and reduce manual errors.
Coempt's denial directly addresses concerns raised by educators and parents about the integrity of the evaluation process. The company emphasised that its system includes multiple layers of security and verification to ensure accurate marking.
CBSE has not yet issued an official response to Coempt's statement. The board is expected to review the matter and may release further details about the reported discrepancies and the steps being taken to address them.
Students and parents awaiting board results have expressed anxiety over the controversy. The digital evaluation system was designed to speed up result processing, but the current dispute has raised questions about its reliability.
The next steps will likely involve a joint review by CBSE and Coempt to verify the claims and ensure the system's integrity. Any findings could impact the timeline for result announcements and future implementation of digital evaluation.
