Overview
- Coempt Edu Teck on June 18 said it traced cases of mixed or wrong scanned Class 12 answer sheets to a specific physical scanning location and individual and found no software error in its On‑Screen Marking platform.
- The company said a 19‑year‑old ethical hacker accessed only a publicly reachable internal testing server that held dummy tests and did not touch live production systems or student data.
- Coempt told clients that about 95 percent of students who requested scanned copies have received them and that isolated image‑quality or legibility complaints are being reviewed with evaluation authorities.
- The vendor rejected claims that tender terms were weakened or substandard scanners were used, saying it uses industry‑standard scanners, upgrades hardware yearly, and that its records are open for government inspection.
- The dispute revives questions about chain of custody, tendering and data security for digitised exam evaluation, and Coempt cited the 2019 Telangana legal record as context while independent government or audit findings are still pending.
