- 4 lakh students have asked for copies of answer sheets.
- Students raised questions on evaluation through OSM system.
- CBSE gave relief in revaluation fees.
- The debate continues regarding the demand for transparency.
After the release of the results of CBSE Class 12 Board Exam 2026, many questions have been raised regarding the evaluation process across the country. A large number of students have expressed objection to their marks and asked for a copy of the answer sheets. Meanwhile, the Central Board of Secondary Education is starting the process of re-evaluation and answer sheet verification from today. Board figures show that this time more than 4 lakh students have applied to see their copies, while a total demand for more than 11 lakh answer sheets has been registered.
At the same time, the copy verification process was to start on the CBSE portal from today. But now maintenance work is going on on the website, a message is coming that the portal will be available soon.
Record number of applications arrived
According to CBSE, this year 4,04,319 students have applied to get copies of their evaluated answer sheets. These students demanded a total of 11,31,961 answer sheets. The board has so far made available about 8.98 lakh answer sheets through digital medium. This number is considered much higher than the previous years and from this the increasing concerns of the students can be gauged.
Questions raised on OSM system
This year, CBSE used the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system in the evaluation of answer sheets. Under this system, examiners check the scanned copies on a digital platform. The board says that this has made the evaluation process fast and transparent, but after the results came, many students raised questions on this system. Many students claimed that they got much less marks than expected. At the same time, some students alleged that some answers in their copies were not checked or there were technical flaws in the scanned copies. Many such screenshots and complaints also went viral on social media, due to which the matter came into further discussion.
CBSE made a big change by giving relief in fees
Following complaints from students and parents, CBSE has also changed the fees for post-result services. Now students can get their scanned answer sheet by paying Rs 100 per subject. A fee of Rs 100 per subject has also been fixed for verification of marks. Whereas for re-evaluation, fee will be charged on per question basis. The board says that the purpose of reduction in fee is to provide relief to the students and to give them an opportunity to check their answer sheets properly.
Who can apply for re-evaluation?
Students who are not satisfied with their marks can first download their scanned answer sheet. After this, you can carefully see the answers and the process of adding marks. If any question has not been checked or a mistake is seen in giving marks, then students can apply for verification and revaluation.

CBSE has clarified that after re-evaluation, marks may increase, decrease or may remain the same. Only the marks released after revaluation will be considered final.
Debate continues regarding transparency
Despite the start of the re-evaluation process, the debate regarding the OSM system is not stopping. Student organizations, parents and education experts are continuously demanding more transparency in the evaluation process. Many believe that digital evaluation is the need of the future, but to make it fully effective, technical and administrative shortcomings need to be addressed.
