The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a plea on August 21 seeking regulations for the Centre and CBSE to conduct exams using the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.

The plea, filed by Rakesh Binjola through advocate Laxmikant Matadan Shukla, seeks directions on granting relaxation in minimum qualifying marks for students who have secured provisional admissions or cleared entrance examinations.
