NEW DELHI: The tendering process behind CBSE’s massive on-screen marking (OSM) project has come under sharper scrutiny after procurement records showed that Hyderabad-based Coempt Eduteck Pvt Ltd narrowly edged past Tata Consultancy Services (TCS) in the technical evaluation before securing a decisive advantage through a sharply lower financial bid.The scoring pattern has triggered questions among some procurement observers over whether the tender design disproportionately benefited firms with narrowly defined prior examination-scanning experience over companies with larger technology and systems integration capabilities.The contract involved scanning and digital evaluation of around 9.9 million Class XII answer books under CBSE’s fully digitised evaluation system introduced this year.Tender documents reviewed by TOI show Coempt secured 91 out of 100 marks in the technical evaluation, only marginally ahead of TCS, wh-ich scored 89. The two firms were closely matched across several parameters, includ-ing certifications, manpower strength, security compliance, disaster recovery systems and solution architecture.The key difference emerged in the “past experience” category, linked specifically to scanning and distribution of subjective answer scripts for digital evaluation.According to the technical evaluation sheet, Coempt received full marks while TCS scored zero in that category despite securing higher marks in the technical presentation and live demonstration segment.Coempt also secured full marks for experience in handling large-scale digital evaluation projects and managing multiple evaluation centres simultaneously. TCS, however, got maximum marks under the turnover criterion because of its significantly larger financial scale and operational capacity.The financial bids revealed an even wider gap.According to bid documents, Coempt quoted rates ranging between approximately Rs 24.8 and Rs 25.7 per answer booklet depending on processing volume, while TCS quoted between Rs 53 and Rs 65 per booklet across similar categories.The evaluated bid value worked out to roughly Rs 384.6 crore for Coempt compared to nearly Rs 951.3 crore for TCS — a difference of around Rs 566 crore.Under the Quality and Cost Based Selection (QCBS) model adopted by CBSE, technical scores carried 70% weightage while financial bids accounted for 30%. “A bidder with a slight technical edge and a substantially lower quote gains a major advantage once weighted scores are combined,” a former central govt procurement official said.The procurement process has also drawn attention because CBSE did not finalise a qualified vendor in two earlier tender rounds before modifying certain technical conditions in a later request for proposal issued in Aug 2025.Officials, however, rejected suggestions that Coempt was favoured.CBSE sources maintained that the evaluation was conducted strictly according to the criteria laid down in the tender document and under General Financial Rules governing public procurement. Officials argued that the board had limited discretion in the technical round and Coempt fulfilled all eligibility requirements prescribed in the bid conditions.“The company that met the technical requirements and secured the highest combined QCBS score was selected in accordance with QCBS provisions,” an official said.The tender has acquired wider significance amid growing scrutiny of CBSE’s digital evaluation ecosystem and questions over the pace at which the nationwide OSM system was rolled out for the 2026 board examinations.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideosSaying ‘I Love Pakistan’ Is Okay For You?: Pawan Kalyan Slams Congress, Seeks Rahul’s ResponseSonam Wangchuk To Join Cockroach Janata Party’s Delhi Protest If Education Minister Doesn’t ResignWhere Are TMC Leaders?

. NEW DELHI: Congress termed the convening of a “special session of Parliament” on April 16-18 a violation of the model code of conduct, accusing the BJP of trying to use the women’s quota bill to influence elections in Tamil Nadu and Bengal, which go to polls later this month.AICC spokesman Jairam Ramesh said Congress opposes any “change in relative strength of states” in the Lok Sabha, criticising a “hasty proposal” for a “proportionate” increase in parliamentary seats. He said such a move would permanently disadvantage southern states like TN and Kerala vis-à-vis northern states, while also hurting north-eastern states, north-western states like Punjab, and smaller states. Ramesh said there have been informal inputs that the Modi government is planning a new delimitation law with a 50% increase in seats of all states in the Lok Sabha and assemblies.Quoting Uttar Pradesh and Kerala, Ramesh said seats in UP could rise to 120 from 80, while Kerala’s could increase to 30 from 20. The earlier gap of 60 seats would widen to 90, the Congress neta argued.“The opposition will take a joint stand, and the government’s strategy of dividing political parties will not succeed,” he said. Ramesh also dismissed the government’s argument linking quota and delimitation, citing the Registrar General of India’s statement that census results will be available in 2027.End of ArticleFollow Us On Social MediaVideos’Will Use India, Throw Under The Bus’: Ex-Pentagon Analyst Reveals US Policy Towards DelhiBangladesh PM Tarique Rahman To Visit India Soon As Delhi-Dhaka Reset Ties: ReportCongress Leader Anand Sharma Praises Modi Govt’s West Asia Diplomacy, Urges National Unity Amid WarIndian Navy Boosts Nuclear Deterrence With INS Aridhaman Submarine, Enforces Undersea Strike PowerWhy Did India-Bound Oil Tanker Carrying Iranian Crude Change Course At The Last Minute?India’s Medium Transport Aircraft Programme Gains Momentum, HAL Joins Global Firms In RaceBrahMos-Armed INS Taragiri Marks Major Leap In India’s Naval Strength And Self-RelianceWest Asia Crisis: India’s Balanced Approach Wins Global Trust As Pakistan’s Mediator Gamble Stumbles‘Ghar Wapsi Will Happen Soon’: Imam Ilyasi Predicts PoK ReunificationRajnath Singh’s ‘Decisive Action’ Warning Evokes Pakistan’s ‘Swift Response’: What Khawaja Asif Said123PhotostoriesIs your silver real or fake? 5 easy ways to test its purity at homePM Narendra Modi highlights ‘Modi Tea Stall’ in Puducherry: How chai holds India’s heartDipika Kakar gets emotional after cyst removal surgery, says “joh ye reoccurrence hua hai uske baad main thoda sa ghabra gayi hoon”7 saree styling hacks to look taller and slimmer instantlyRamayana actor Ravie Dubey’s wealth decoded: From luxury cars to a Rs 8 crore Mumbai penthouse, exploring his reported Rs 80 crore net worthNatasha Poonawalla and Adar Poonawalla: The power couple’s filmy love storyHow to prepare your car for extreme off-road conditionsYour feet might look normal, but there are hidden signs which indicate severe damage and disease: How to recognise them7 key residential areas in Jaipur shaping the city’s real estate market11 royal meal experiences at the Maharajas’ Express that are not to be missed123Hot PicksTravis KelceOliver rowlandKick StreamerTiger WoodsCSK vs PBKS PreviewPublic holidays April 2026Bank Holidays AprilTop TrendingOil Price TodayGood Friday 2026India Labour CodeRandy GeorgeLuigi MangioneGucci ManeRaghav ChaddaHailee SteinfeldSchool Holidays in AprilIran war news
