The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will begin the re-evaluation process for Class 12 students today, June 1. Students who have requested scanned copies of their answer scripts using CBSE’s online portal will be re-evaluated. According to an earlier announcement from the CBSE, the platform was scheduled to open on May 29. Interested students can apply by visiting the official website, cbseit.in.
In a message dated May 26, the board stated that scanned answer sheet copies are being delivered to students via the official site and their registered email addresses, with any outstanding requests expected to be resolved by May 27.
The re-evaluation process requires students to first obtain photocopies of their answer sheets before applying for verification or re-evaluation.
CBSE Re-evaluation 2026: How to apply
Step 1: Students must first apply to obtain a scanned copy of their evaluated answer sheet for the subject in question.
Step 2: Once received, carefully review the scanned copy and compare the evaluation with CBSE’s official marking scheme.
Step 3: If you notice any errors, such as unchecked answers, incorrect marking, or mismatches, submit your observations to the board.
Step 4: A committee of subject experts will assess the request, and CBSE will issue the final decision based on their review.
School Education Secretary Sanjay Kumar, addressing a press conference, assured the students that if, during re-evaluation, a student’s marks increase, then the amount paid for re-evaluation will be refunded to the student.
Applicants must review the marking structure for their individual disciplines before submitting a re-evaluation request. The marking schemes will be made available on the official website, along with the question papers, and students are expected to consult them before deciding which questions to contest. When submitting their application, candidates must explain why they want to re-evaluate specific questions.
Regarding Fees, Students requesting for verification will be charged Rs 500 every answer book, while re-evaluation will cost Rs 100 per question. The two processes are distinct; verification often involves checking for clerical or totaling errors, whereas re-evaluation entails a new judgment of the answer.
On the schedule, the board has stated that the verification and re-evaluation portal would be open for at least two days after the last scanned and evaluated answer book is made available to candidates. This guarantees that students who receive copies late still have time to review and answer before the deadline.
On the volume of requests, the board shared that over 4 lakh applications were received for scanned copies, covering nearly 11.32 lakh answer sheets, of which roughly 8.98 lakh have been digitally delivered so far.
