. NEW DELHI: Action is set to follow against officials in the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) as the ministry of education has initiated an internal crackdown over alleged irregularities in a controversial tender process and serious vulnerabilities in the board’s digital evaluation ecosystem.According to ministry sources, a detailed report from CBSE on the tender process linked to the board’s On Screen Marking (OSM) system has been sought. Sources said that the explanations provided so far have failed to fully satisfy the ministry, with accountability now likely to be fixed at multiple levels inside the board.“The ministry is taking strong action against those accountable. Responsibility will be determined,” a senior official said. Sources added that “heads are likely to roll” if procedural lapses or negligence are established.The controversy surrounding the OSM tender escalated after allegations surfaced that eligibility conditions and technical criteria were modified across multiple rounds of bidding before Hyderabad-based Coempt Edu Tek finally emerged as the successful bidder. Critics and opposition leaders questioned whether procurement norms were diluted to favour a particular company, especially after complaints began surfacing over blurred answer sheets, missing pages and technical glitches during the reevaluation process.CBSE has rejected allegations of wrongdoing and maintained that the tender process followed General Financial Rules and established procurement procedures. However, the controversy deepened after ethical hackers and independent developers flagged vulnerabilities in systems linked to the board’s digital evaluation infrastructure.Ministry officials said the weaknesses became more serious because CBSE does not yet maintain a comprehensive digital repository architecture for answer sheets and related examination records. The absence of robust archival and cybersecurity systems is now being examined separately as part of a wider review of the board’s digital preparedness.The ministry has meanwhile engaged experts from IITs to plug technological gaps, strengthen cybersecurity safeguards and conduct audits of the reevaluation portal architecture. CBSE has been directed to fortify the system and ensure that all reevaluation requests are processed through a secure and transparent mechanism.Officials stressed that students’ interests would remain protected and that the reevaluation process would continue under enhanced monitoring and supervision.About the AuthorManash Pratim GohainManash Pratim Gohain is a seasoned journalist with over two decades at The Times of India, where he has built a rich body of work spanning education policy, politics, and governance.

Images/Agencies NEW DELHI: The Congress party on Monday attacked the Centre after commercial LPG cylinder prices were increased by up to Rs 53.50 from June 1, accusing Prime Minister Narendra Modi of burdening people with rising costs. The opposition party alleged that ‘Inflation Man Modi’ had once again ‘cracked the whip’ by raising LPG prices.The attack came after the price of a 19-kg commercial LPG cylinder was increased across major cities. In Delhi, the price was raised by Rs 42 to Rs 3,113.50, while in Kolkata it went up by Rs 53.50 to Rs 3,255.50. The price revision applies to commercial cylinders used by hotels, restaurants and businesses. There has been no change in domestic cooking gas cylinder prices.The price of a 5-kg Free Trade LPG (FTL) cylinder was also increased by Rs 11 and now costs Rs 821.50 in Delhi.Targeting the government over the latest revision, the Congress party shared a post on X and alleged that commercial LPG prices had risen sharply over the past five months.”‘Inflation Man’ Modi has cracked the whip again. Today, he hiked the commercial cylinder by ₹53.50,” the party wrote.The Congress claimed that commercial LPG cylinder prices have increased by a cumulative Rs 1,571.50 since the beginning of the year. According to the party, the latest hike of Rs 53.50 on June 1 follows successive increases in January, February, March, April and May.The party further alleged, “In just 5 months, the commercial cylinder has become about 1,572 rupees more expensive, and the year isn’t even over yet. Modi’s extraction continues.”In a separate post, Congress also criticised the increase in the price of 5-kg LPG cylinders, claiming consumers had been encouraged to switch to smaller cylinders only to face higher prices later.”‘Inflation Man’ Modi has also made the 5 kg small LPG cylinder more expensive,” the party wrote.Congress claimed that the price of the small cylinder had increased by a total of Rs 272 in the last month.”First, ‘Inflation Man’ told the public to buy the small cylinder, then started the extortion,” the party further wrote.The latest LPG price hike comes as the Centre reviews India’s fuel security strategy following supply disruptions linked to tensions in West Asia. The government has asked state-run oil marketing companies to work towards maintaining LPG reserves equivalent to at least 30 days of demand.However, the Centre has maintained that there is no shortage of fuel in the country. Officials have said India has sufficient stocks of petrol, diesel, LPG, crude oil and natural gas, while domestic refineries are operating at optimum levels and LPG production remains at record highs.About the AuthorTOI News DeskThe TOI News Desk comprises a dedicated and tireless team of journalists who operate around the clock to deliver the most current and comprehensive news and updates to the readers of The Times of India worldwide.
