‘Beware of pickpockets’: Rahul Gandhi slams CBSE, Modi govt over re-evaluation process

Congress leader Rahul Gandhi on Monday (June 1, 2026) attacked the Modi government over the CBSE's re-evaluation process and cost, saying that when education is treated not as a service but as a business, errors are not corrected but multiplied.

Mr. Gandhi shared a video snippet from his conversation with CBSE students facing problems due to the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system of the Board.

"Beware of pickpockets — today, they are sitting right inside the CBSE. If your marks are incorrect due to a CBSE error, what do you get? A bill: Digital scanned copy: ₹100 per subject. Re-totalling: ₹100 per paper. Re-evaluation: ₹25 per question," Mr. Gandhi said in a post in Hindi on X, accompanying the video clip.
