The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has once again extended the deadline for students to obtain scanned copies of their Class 12 board exam answer sheets, moving the date from May 23 to May 24, 2026. This decision comes in response to significant technical disruptions and heavy traffic on the CBSE portal, which has faced complaints from students and parents regarding payment failures and delayed access to the necessary documents. In a circular, CBSE acknowledged the unprecedented traffic and unauthorized attempts to interfere with the system, prompting the extension to ensure that students are not adversely affected. Additionally, students dissatisfied with their results will have the opportunity to apply for verification and re-evaluation of their marks from May 26 to May 29, 2026. The board has also reduced fees for these services, with costs set at ₹100 (approximately $1.20 USD) for obtaining scanned copies and verification, while re-evaluation will cost ₹25 (approximately $0.30 USD) per question. The re-evaluation process has gained attention this year due to concerns about the new digital On-Screen Marking system, with calls for increased transparency and access to evaluated answer scripts.
