Announcing the initiative, Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains said Punjab will become one of the first state boards in the country to adopt end-to-end digital evaluation, marking a transformative shift in how answer sheets are assessed.<\/p>\n<p>Divulging details of the project, Punjab Education Minister Harjot Singh Bains said, \u201cThis digital system will enable teachers to evaluate scanned answer sheets on computers, with marks calculated automatically by software, ensuring faster and more accurate results.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The Education Minister further shared that the system has already demonstrated its effectiveness. \u201cThe system has already proved its mettle by evaluating 23,000 answer sheets swiftly and accurately during the September 2025 Supplementary Examinations,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Encouraged by these exceptional outcomes, the Punjab School Education Board will implement On-Screen Marking in one subject of the Matriculation Examination this year, with phased expansion in subsequent cycles.<\/p>\n<p>Explaining the technical safeguards, Harjot Singh Bains said, \u201cEach page of the newly designed answer sheet features a unique QR code, enabling secure scanning and seamless digital processing. Under the OSM system, answer sheets are scanned in a protected environment and uploaded to a centralized dashboard, where examiners evaluate them online with automated totalling, structured marking schemes and real-time progress monitoring.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Describing the reform as far more than a technological upgrade, the Education Minister stated, \u201cIt is not just an upgrade, it\u2019s a complete overhaul of evaluating our children\u2019s future. It will ensure every student gets fairness, speed and accuracy in examinations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>PSEB Chairman Dr. Amarpal Singh underlined the student-first vision guiding the reform. He said, \u201cThis initiative reinforces Chief Minister S Bhagwant Singh Mann led Punjab Government\u2019s commitment to integrity and efficiency. Students will benefit from reduced result timelines, standardised marking and complete transparency in evaluation. Our teachers, too, will work with a clutter-free digital interface that ensures consistency and systematic record-keeping.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He added that the Board has completed all technical and administrative preparations for the March 2026 rollout. \u201cThe OSM system carries the guarantee of Punjab\u2019s commitment to its students,\u201d Dr. Amarpal Singh stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PSEB Introduces On-Screen Marking, Punjab Among First States to Adopt Fully Digital Assessment Punjab E News: The Punjab Government is set to introduce a major reform in the evaluation process for board examinations, with the Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) preparing to roll out an On-Screen Marking system for the March 2026 examinations.
