Overview
- Digital evaluation will apply to Class 12 answer books from the 2026 exams, while Class 10 checking remains in physical mode this year.
- CBSE has warned that non-compliance with OASIS data updates and evaluator deployment may lead to non-declaration of a school’s results and action under Board bye-laws.
- To brief administrators and standardise procedures, CBSE will host a live webcast for principals on February 14, alongside mandatory training, multiple dry runs, OASIS-based logins, instructional videos and a call centre.
- Minimum setup includes a computer lab with a public static IP, Windows 8 or higher with at least 4 GB RAM, updated browsers and Adobe Reader, reliable 2 Mbps internet and uninterrupted power.
- The rollout will scan more than one crore Class 12 answer sheets (about 32 crore pages reported), with automated totalling to cut errors and faster marking from teachers’ own schools, though some heads caution about connectivity and screen-time strains.
