Every year, with the announcement of CBSE Board results, both happiness and stress come to the homes of lakhs of students. Some celebrate when they get good marks, while others look at their marksheet and wonder how they got such low marks. Something similar is being seen this time too. But a big change is clearly visible in 2026, this time a record number of students have asked for re-checking and scanned copy of their answer sheets.

CBSE has now released a new update regarding the answer book process, which has caught the attention of both students and parents. According to the latest data of the board, till 6 pm on May 26, 2026, a total of 4,04,319 students have applied for the scanned copies of their examined copies. The most surprising thing is that these students have demanded a total of 11,31,961 answer books. That means a student has expressed his desire to see copies of not just one but many subjects.

Why is restlessness increasing among students?

After the results are declared, many students feel that they have got less marks than expected. Some students believe that their copy was not checked properly, while others fear that there was a mistake in adding the numbers. This is the reason why this time a large number of students decided to see their answer sheets.

According to CBSE, till now 8,98,214 answer books have been made available to the students digitally. The remaining pending requests will be completed by May 27, 2026. The board says that efforts are being made to complete the entire process quickly so that students do not have to wait much.

New portal will open till 29th May

CBSE has also informed that the application portal for verification and re-evaluation of answer books is expected to go live by 29 May 2026. That is, those students who feel that marks have been given less in their copy or some mistake has been made, they will soon be able to apply for re-verification. This facility of the board is considered very important for the students, because it gives them a chance to see their copy and make corrections in case of mistakes.

Applications increased manifold compared to last year

CBSE figures are showing a big change this time. In the year 2025, about 1.31 lakh students had applied for marks verification and re-checking. At that time approximately 2.82 lakh answer sheets were challenged. But in 2026 the situation has completely changed. This time more than 4 lakh students have asked for scanned copies of 11.31 lakh answer books. That means this number is many times more than last year.

Education experts believe that the concern about numbers is continuously increasing among students. In today’s time, the difference of a few marks can affect college admission and career. This is the reason why students have now become more cautious about their marks than before.

Concern of parents also increased

Not only students, parents are also continuously keeping an eye on this process. Many parents believe that if the student has worked hard, he should get the right result. This is the reason why now people have started taking verification and re-evaluation seriously.
