Descriptiontext

Coempt Eduteck Pvt. Ltd. (formerly Globarena Technologies) is a Hyderabad-based EdTech company founded in 2000 that provides end-to-end examination management and digital evaluation technology to government education boards, universities, and autonomous institutions in India. Its product platform includes OneX (an integrated exam management system), Onmark (uncut answer book scanning and digital evaluation), DigiTAB (tablet-based paperless exams), EzyTest (computer-based testing), DigiLab (AI-powered CCTV-based exam surveillance), and DigitalLAB (English/career/aptitude training), with sub-modules for question paper management and secure encrypted question paper transmission. The company claims to process approximately 2 crore answer booklets annually for 35+ universities and institutions across India, and states it has served 6,561+ clients over 25+ years.

The company's go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting government customers through tender and procurement processes, with regional offices in Karnataka, Tamil Nadu & Kerala, and Nagpur supporting the Hyderabad headquarters. Revenue is generated through multi-year government contracts and per-cycle licensing arrangements priced on volume and scope; the largest known contract is the CBSE On-Screen Marking engagement (reported at ~₹384.6 crore) for scanning and digital evaluation of ~9.9 million Class XII answer books, where Coempt's bid was less than half of TCS's competing quote. The company is founder-led by Managing Director & CEO V S N Raju and has no disclosed institutional investors, holding ISO and CMMi certifications.

The business is currently navigating material reputational and regulatory headwinds. The 2026 deployment of the CBSE OSM system triggered a multi-agency controversy involving a Parliamentary panel probe, a Cabinet Secretariat one-member committee investigation, Delhi High Court notice on an NSUI petition, and CBSE penalty proceedings — alongside security vulnerabilities that required IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur remediation and migration of data to government-controlled AWS infrastructure. Earlier incidents include a Kannur University tender disqualification for non-disclosure of pending criminal proceedings and a Nagpur University three-member inquiry into unsatisfactory examination work. The underlying entity also carries the legacy of the 2019 Telangana Intermediate exam controversy from its prior incarnation as Globarena Technologies.

The HinduEducation Minister meets officials to review ‘key priorities’ to strengthen CBSEUnion Education Minister Pralhad Joshi met officials of the Department of School Education and Literacy on August 24, 2026 to review priorities for strengthening CBSE's academic, examination and administrative processes. The meeting addressed controversies over the 2026 Class 12 board evaluation, including the on-screen marking system, vendor Coempt EduTeck, and data privacy vulnerabilities exposed by researchers.The Times of IndiaNU’s Software To Be Used In Summer ’27 Exams: VCNagpur University has resolved to conduct all its examinations using its own in-house software from Summer 2027, a reform priority of vice-chancellor Manali Kshirsagar since assuming office in December. The decision follows poor experience with third-party exam agencies, specifically Hyderabad-based COEMPT Eduteck, which faced delayed appointment and controversy during winter 2025 exams. The university has withheld all bills of COEMPT and set up an inquiry led by senate member Manmohan Bajpai to verify allegations that the company's earlier avatar Globarena Technologies was blacklisted by other universities.TimesNowAfter OSM Portal Row, COEMPT Faces Fresh Allegations as 'X' Post Claims Password LeakAn X (formerly Twitter) post by ethical hacker Nisarga alleged that COEMPT Edu Teck Pvt Ltd, the Hyderabad-based EdTech company previously hired by CBSE for its On-Screen Marking portal, left plaintext login credentials exposed in a publicly accessible code repository. The allegations follow an earlier controversy where students complained about unexpectedly low marks and researchers flagged security vulnerabilities including database leaks and OTP authentication flaws in the OSM system. COEMPT has not publicly responded to these latest allegations.The Times of IndiaV&E probing Inter-2019 results goof-up by Globarena: Revanth | Hyderabad News - The Times of IndiaTelangana Chief Minister A Revanth Reddy has directed the Vigilance and Enforcement (V&E) wing to investigate Globarena Technologies for errors in publishing 2019 Intermediate exam results, a case that was closed during the previous BRS government's tenure. The company, which allegedly caused 27 student suicides due to irregularities in the results, later rebranded as Coempt EduTeck and is now involved in a CBSE on-screen marking system controversy that has led to widespread technical glitches and protests. The government is seeking legal opinion before deciding on reopening the case.Deccan HeraldIndia’s cyber vulnerabilities begin long before a breachIn February 2026, 19-year-old security researcher Nisarga Adhikary discovered multiple vulnerabilities in CBSE's on-screen marking system platform, developed by Coempt Eduteck Private Limited, including a client-side hardcoded credential functioning as a backdoor. After reporting the vulnerabilities to CERT-In in February and receiving no satisfactory response for several weeks, Nisarga publicly disclosed all vulnerabilities on May 22, prompting CBSE to acknowledge the issues on May 31. The article argues for urgent reform of India's cybersecurity procurement norms and CERT-In's limited enforcement mechanisms, noting that without systemic changes, focusing on AI-driven vulnerabilities will do little to improve security of critical systems.The HinduCoempt defends OSM rollout, but transparency concerns remainCoempt Eduteck has defended the rollout of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system for CBSE Class XII results, citing certifications, audits, and institutional scrutiny, but the article argues the system failed to deliver on its promised transparency and fairness. Out of nearly 98 lakh answer scripts and 17.7 lakh students affected, only about 11 lakh scripts for roughly four lakh students entered the disclosure process, with less than 4% ultimately available for verification, while acknowledged deficiencies including incorrect candidate-script associations and seven categories of scanning issues further undermine reliability claims. The article calls for proactive disclosure of all digitised answer scripts to all students as the only genuine test of whether the OSM framework achieved its stated objectives.Gadgets 360Coempt Breaks Silence On CBSE OSM Row: Denies Software Glitch, Rejects Hacking And Tender ClaimsCoempt EduTech denied software glitches and hacking claims regarding its CBSE OSM system, citing an internal review that found no technical fault and traced the issue to manual scanning. The company also rejected tender irregularity allegations, noting its scanners are industry-standard and that a Supreme Court review found only 0.16% evaluation variance.Outlook IndiaCBSE Migrates Evaluation Data; Coempt Blames Physical Scanning ErrorsThe Central Board of Secondary Education migrated all evaluation records from Coempt Edu Teck to government-controlled infrastructure on June 6, 2026, following student complaints about blurred or swapped Class 12 answer sheets, with CBSE initiating penalty proceedings against the company under Service Level Agreements. A 19-year-old ethical hacker exposed critical security vulnerabilities in Coempt's platform, demonstrating full Create, Read, Update, and Delete access to live production servers and exposing an unauthenticated AWS storage bucket containing actual 2026 student answer sheets. Tender documents revealed that resolution requirements were relaxed from 300 to 200 DPI and CBSE's power to blacklist the company for software failures was removed, while the contract value decreased from ₹38.46 crore to ₹25.39 crore based on 9.86 million scripts processed.The Times of IndiaCoempt Eduteck defends CBSE OSM system, says scanners were industry-grade and records open for scrutiny - The Economic TimesCoempt Eduteck, the Hyderabad-based company handling CBSE's On-Screen Marking system, has issued a clarification denying allegations of using low-quality scanners and addressing concerns about blurred answer sheets and a reported security breach. The company stated its scanners are industry-grade, that the answer sheet mix-up was due to a manual scanning error rather than software failure, and that an ethical hacker's access was limited to a public testing server, not the live operational system. Nearly 95% of student answer sheets have been delivered, with the firm noting it processes approximately two crore answer booklets annually across 35+ universities and institutions in India.MintCBSE OSM whistleblower Nisarga Adhikary hired by IIT Kanpur with ‘decent salary’ but… | Today NewsNisarga Adhikary, a 19-year-old ethical hacker from West Bengal, has been hired by IIT Kanpur on a contractual basis to join its cybersecurity team after independently uncovering critical security vulnerabilities in the CBSE On-Screen Marking (OSM) portal, which is used to evaluate Class XII answer sheets for lakhs of students. An IIT panel reviewing the CBSE post-result ecosystem found that the OSM portal was not thoroughly tested before deployment and that auditing by CBSE's hired auditor was insufficient. The portal was created and managed by private IT service provider Coempt Eduteck, and while the panel found no evidence of records being leaked externally, the ethical hack exposed serious flaws including OTP bypass and unauthorized examiner account access through a hardcoded master password.
