OSM stands for On-Screen Marking. It is the digital system used by the CBSE Board to evaluate answer scripts for Class 10 and 12. Instead of teachers manually correcting physical paper booklets, the entire process is moved to a secure digital platform.
### How the Process Works
1. Scanning: High resolution digitization.
2. Digital Distribution: Secure server uploads.
3. On-Screen Evaluation: Examiners use digital tools to award marks.
4. Automatic Tabulation: Eliminates totaling errors.
### Student Checklist: Formatting Answer Sheets
– Use Blue or Black Ballpoint Pen for scanning contrast.
– Use Dark Pencils (HB/2B) for diagrams.
– Respect Borders and Margins to avoid cropping.
– Clearly underline key terms and use bullet points.
