The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced an extension for students requesting scanned copies of their evaluated answer books for the Class 12 Board Examinations 2026. Originally set for May 24, the new deadline is now May 25, 2026, at midnight. This extension comes in response to technical glitches that disrupted the online application process, where many students reported incomplete applications despite payments being deducted. To address these issues, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has enlisted experts from IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur to assist in resolving the portal's problems. Additionally, CBSE confirmed that refunds will be processed for students affected by payment discrepancies, with excess amounts returned to their original payment methods. The board also plans to announce the schedule for re-evaluation requests shortly, ensuring that the portal remains accessible for two days after the last scanned answer book is made available. This move aims to facilitate a smoother experience for students amid ongoing technical challenges.
