In a recent update, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has extended the deadline for Class 12 students to apply for scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets to May 23, 2026. This decision comes in response to concerns raised by students about the new On-Screen Marking (OSM) evaluation system, which has faced scrutiny for potential discrepancies in the evaluation process. The extension aims to provide students additional time to review their answers and identify any issues before pursuing verification or re-evaluation. CBSE has emphasized that all other application rules will remain unchanged. The application portal, which opened on May 19, has experienced heavy traffic, leading to reported technical issues such as login failures. Despite these challenges, CBSE maintains that the portal is functioning properly, with the National Informatics Centre overseeing its operations. The move is seen as a step towards improving transparency and fairness in the evaluation process, allowing students to personally assess their evaluated papers.
