https://sarthaksidhant.com/coempt/
The article accuses CBSE of changing a tender so Coempt Edu Teck could qualify for an On-Screen Marking contract.
Coempt was linked to Globarena Technologies, which was involved in the 2019 Telangana Intermediate exam controversy.
The article says CBSE weakened eligibility rules between earlier drafts and the final tender.
CBSE allegedly changed blacklist rules from excluding firms blacklisted in the past to excluding only firms currently blacklisted.
It claims CBSE removed or softened rules about poor past performance.
It says CBSE reduced the software quality requirement from CMMI Level 5 to CMMI Level 3.
The author argues CBSE changed project experience rules to help companies with many smaller projects, instead of requiring strong large-scale marking experience.
The article claims CBSE weakened data center and security requirements, raising concerns about student data safety.
A later corrigendum allegedly removed CBSE’s power to blacklist the vendor for repeated mistakes.
The penalty system allegedly focused more on delays than marking or scanning accuracy.
The main concern is that students’ marks and personal data may have been put at risk.
The author wants CBSE to explain why these tender changes were made and whether the contract award was fair.
Bottom line: the article alleges CBSE changed tender rules in ways that benefited Coempt despite red flags around the company’s past and technical capability.
