THIS IS WHERE A 17-YEAR-OLD SHAMED THE MEDIA 🔥 KARAN THAPAR: If these tender changes had not been made, would Coempt Edutech have qualified? SARTHAK: Absolutely not, sir. KARAN THAPAR: So Coempt Edutech practically benefited from the changes? SARTHAK: You could say that, sir. KARAN THAPAR: How concerned are you by what you found? SARTHAK 🎯: I am concerned that the system is not transparent enough. These things should not be uncovered by students like me. They should be available to journalists and investigators.

THIS IS WHERE CBSE GOT FULLY EXPOSED 🔥 ANCHOR: Why did the tender go for the third time? What did your findings show? SARTHAK 🎯: CBSE floated the OSM tender twice. Both got cancelled. ANCHOR: Then what happened? SARTHAK ⚡️: On the third tender, Coempt Eduteck won. ANCHOR: What’s the suspicion? SARTHAK 😳: Same company, earlier called Globarena, had a software failure in Telangana results. Students died by suicide. CBSE still didn’t do due diligence.

#WATCH | Ranchi, Jharkhand | A class 12th student, Sarthak Sidhant, says, “…I have written a blog that compares the tender documents of CBSE. I have uploaded and published it… There were at least 15 discrepancies, as per my blog. I would like to highlight three or four of them. Let me give a background about Coempt. It was known as Globarena, and they have a very shady background. 23 students killed themselves because of coempt… Now, I would like to tell you about RFP (Request for Proposal). What happens is the government issues a tender and asks the bidder to bid for it. CBSE issued this tender three times… I have compared the old RFP and the new RFP, and I found some discrepancies… The first discrepancy is that there were three clauses of poor performances which was completely wiped out from the new RFP. In the earlier RFP, there was a clause called blacklisted earlier, whereas in the new RFP, it was changed to blacklisted currently. Why would the board want a service provider which was blacklisted earlier? The third thing I found out is the 50 crore limit, which you needed to qualify, and coempt qualified that by 1.7% … The time frame of corrupt practices was halved, and there were project criteria changes… It shows a pattern that the industry giant TCS was not preferred, but coempt was preferred, which works as a very fragmented group of institutions…”

Class 12 student Sarthak Sidhant does what the media should have done He found multiple discrepancies in CBSE's tender process after comparing old & new tender documents. 1. He claims key poor-performance clauses were removed, "blacklisted earlier" was changed to "blacklisted currently," 2. Qualification criteria were altered, & changes appeared to favor company named Coempt over larger competitors like TCS. What a Corrupt Govt we have !!

THIS 18-YEAR-OLD SPEAKS LIKE THE ADULT IN THE ROOM 🔥 ABHINAV: What is the solution? What should CBSE do? SARTHAK 🎯: First, there should be an investigation into the tender. Until the investigation is complete, CBSE should not extend this company’s contract. If rules were changed to benefit the company, there should be a proper, unbiased investigation and proper punishment. Also, CBSE must be transparent, because even one child’s future should not be played with.

CBSE gave the Class 12 digital checking contract to COEMPT Edu Teck. Questions are being raised because: • COEMPT is reportedly linked to/earlier known as Globarena, a company previously surrounded by evaluation controversies. • CBSE floated OSM tenders multiple times, and reports say final tender conditions were relaxed. • Scanning requirement was reportedly reduced from 300 DPI to 200 DPI. • High-end/robotic scanner requirement was reportedly removed. • Software maturity condition was reportedly reduced from CMMI Level 5 to Level 3. • Strict penalty clauses for scanning errors were reportedly diluted. • After this, COEMPT qualified and won on financial bid. • Students later complained of blurred scans, missing pages, wrong copies, delayed photocopies and portal/payment glitches. CBSE says due process was followed. But if everything is clean, CBSE should publish the full tender file, technical evaluation marks, financial bids and vendor performance report.
