CBSE OSM Evaluation 2026: Key Highlights

CBSE has made some modifications in the IPS website to enhance the precision of the evaluation information and processing of payments. These modifications include OSM information, duty dates, bank information, and certification.

CBSE OSM Evaluation 2026: What's Changed?

The IPS Spot Evaluation Portal has been made operational from 16th September 2026 for processing payment of officials related to board exam answer sheet evaluation, who will include Chief Nodal Supervisor, Head Examiner, and other evaluation officials.

New facility of verification and correction has been added for 2026 evaluation data by CBSE to correlate payment details with attendance and evaluations done by them.

New Instructions for Class 12 Evaluation

For Class 12, the CBSE has replaced its earlier finalized IPS data with the real evaluation data in the form of OSM data. On-Screen Marking is an online method of assessing the examination answer sheets.

The updated portal has the details of Head Examiners, Assistant Head Examiners, and Examiners. The dates and numbers of answer sheets evaluated by them pertain to the data that has been collected via the OSM system.

The Chief Nodal Supervisors need to check these details and fill in the bank account number, IFSC code, mobile number, and OASIS ID. They can also rectify any spelling mistakes of the names of the evaluators.

CBSE has made it clear that in case the teachers who attended evaluation centers throughout the day did not have the OSM login, they will still be eligible for payment. This has to be done by the CNS to the Regional Office concerned.

New Instructions for Class 10 Evaluation

The CBSE has added an option to input evaluation dates in the IPS for Class 10. The date on which the evaluation was completed at each center is already entered.

The CNSs need to input the other dates that are necessary. The supervisors who have entered their details incorrectly in the past and those who have not uploaded any details can do so now.

CBSE IPS Portal 2026: Data Entry Guidelines

CBSE has prescribed a specific order for entering evaluation information. Supervisors must follow this sequence to ensure that staff records are correctly linked to their respective officials.

• Enter the Chief Nodal Supervisor's details first.
• Add Head Examiners under the relevant subjects.
• Enter evaluators and other functionaries under their Head Examiners.
• Add support staff through the designated section.
• Record only the days on which staff actually performed duties.
• Verify bank account numbers, IFSC codes, and OASIS IDs.
• Review, validate, freeze, and certify the completed information.

According to CBSE, a Head Examiner cannot be entered prior to the CNS. Likewise, other functionaries should not be entered before their respective Head Examiners.

The dates of duties should come within the period of evaluation that is shown on the portal. The number of days entered for the functionary should not exceed the maximum limit for their Head Examiner and CNS.

CBSE OSM Evaluation 2026: Payment Verification Rules

It is necessary for supervisors to scrutinize information related to payments before the submission of information. Improper information related to the bank account or duty details can cause difficulties in making payments.

The beneficiary's bank account number and IFSC code have to be valid. An account number and IFSC code cannot be used by two people in the same school.

In the case of multiple evaluation duties being carried out by one person, he/she should use the same name and bank account details. It is checked that the number of duty days and answer sheets entered does not exceed the limit.

Class 10 payments for the Internal Head Examiners will be made through the relevant Regional Office and not through the IPS portal. For Class 12, Internal Head Examiner's payment will be done through IPS using the system records.

How to Complete CBSE IPS Portal Data Verification 2026

Chief Nodal Supervisors must complete the verification process according to the instructions issued by CBSE. The official circular provides the following procedure for reviewing and certifying evaluation records.

1. Access the authorised IPS Spot Evaluation Portal 2026 using the applicable access credentials.
2. Open the Chief Nodal Supervisor section and enter or verify the required details.
3. Add or review Head Examiner records, including subjects, evaluation dates, and payment information.
4. Check the details of examiners, coordinators, and other evaluation functionaries.
5. Enter the required support staff records and confirm actual duty days.
6. Open the Review section and verify all records requiring confirmation.
7. Go to Freeze Payment Details and select Validate Data to identify errors.
8. Correct the reported errors and review any permitted exceptions.
9. Select the declaration checkbox and freeze the verified payment information.
10. Open Certify Data, review the certificate, confirm the payment figures, and complete certification.

Unfreezing of information is permissible by CBSE only till the point of freezing but prior to certification. Any changes in the information once it gets certified are not allowed.

The supervisors are required to download the reports and statistics that are available on the portal. CNSs have been instructed by the board to verify the information themselves.

CBSE OSM Evaluation 2026: Final Certification Rules

A certificate of correctness of information entered on the IPS portal has been issued by CBSE. The declaration should be read in detail before accepting it.

For certification, the CNS should confirm the total number of beneficiaries, the amount of payment, and the reference number of the certificate. Accepted exceptions would also reflect on the certificate.

Certification is a critical process since payments would be made based on the certified records. CBSE has made it clear that no changes could be made to the data post-certification.

It has also mentioned that it would not be liable for any wrong payments made due to wrong bank account details provided by the supervisor.

CBSE OSM Evaluation 2026 Deadline: November 26

CBSE has instructed all Chief Nodal Supervisors to complete the process of data entry and freezing within fifteen days from the date of issuance of the circular issued on November 11. Thus, the deadline comes on November 26, 2026.

Supervisors are advised to check the records prior to the deadline instead of waiting until the last moment for correction. Bank details, actual attendance, dates of evaluations, and payment details need special attention during the checking process.

Official circular can be found on the CBSE website cbse.gov.in. CNSs are supposed to review the document called "Providing OSM Evaluation Data on IPS Spot Evaluation Portal 2026."

These instructions relate to the process of verification of payments for evaluators. No changes in examination results and marks of the students have been announced in the circular. New system is expected to facilitate the process of processing the payments to evaluators by using certified information.
