The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to announce the Class 12 board examination results in the third week of May 2026. Students will have several options following the results, including verification of marks, re-evaluation, and supplementary exams. After downloading their scorecards, students should thoroughly review their marks. If they suspect errors, they can request a scanned copy of their answer sheets, which is necessary before proceeding with verification or re-evaluation. Verification involves checking for calculation errors and discrepancies, while re-evaluation allows students to challenge specific question marks at a fee of ₹100 per question. Those who do not pass can apply for supplementary exams, which were renamed in 2023 to align with the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Eligibility criteria for supplementary exams vary, particularly for private candidates, and students should be cautious as re-evaluation may result in a reduction of marks. Staying informed about official timelines and instructions post-results is essential for all candidates.
