The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) decided to introduce on-screen marking of answer sheets for classes tenth and twelfth in the coming sessions .

This will help a great deal in the evaluation process and minimize the scope for errors. The board also plans to bring in the digital system in two phases.

The first phase that will start in March 2013 with class tenth answer sheets , is likely to shoot up as many as three lakhs in number.

As class tenth board examinations are optional , the number of answer sheets to be handled in the first set would be much lesser than the total work load.

The digitization will kick start in March 2013 with Class X answer-sheets. The answer-sheets will be scanned and later put on screen for the examiners , who will later use the concerned software.
