The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has activated its re-evaluation portal for the 2026 board examinations after a day-long delay, addressing ongoing complaints from students regarding the quality of scanned answer sheets. The portal will be available until June 6, allowing students to report issues such as blurred copies and missing pages. CBSE reported that it faced multiple cyberattacks, including a denial-of-service attack that generated 1.5 million hits in just two minutes. To enhance security, the board has introduced Aadhaar verification, requiring students to enter their Aadhaar number upon logging in. Those without an Aadhaar can use a parent's or guardian's details. This decision has raised concerns among stakeholders about the necessity and implications of using Aadhaar for verification. Additionally, CBSE has reduced re-evaluation fees significantly, reflecting its response to student feedback. The board continues to refine the platform to ensure a smoother user experience.
