CBSE relaxed norms for OSM in third tender after no luck in previous rounds

After failing to secure bids in the first two rounds, CBSE relaxed several requirements in the third tender issued in August 2025. Coempt emerged as the successful bidder after the modifications, despite concerns about the system's readiness for nationwide implementation.
