In response to technical glitches experienced by students, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has extended the deadline for candidates to request scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets for the 2026 board examinations. The new deadline is now set for May 23, 2026, an extension from the previous date of May 22, 2026. The official notice cited technical issues on the CBSE website that hindered access to Post-Verification Facilities as the reason for this decision. Additionally, students dissatisfied with their Class 12 results will have the opportunity to apply for verification of marks and re-evaluation between May 26 and May 29, 2026. The board has also reduced fees for these services to ₹100 (approximately $1.20 USD) for obtaining scanned copies and verification, while re-evaluation will cost ₹25 (about $0.30 USD) per question. Notably, if a student's marks increase following re-evaluation, the fee will be refunded. This adjustment in fee structure comes after feedback from stakeholders regarding the new On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, which has raised concerns about scoring inconsistencies. Students and parents are advocating for more transparency and improvements in the evaluation process.
