CBSE 12th Exam Rechecking Controversy: This time, after the release of the 12th board result of the Central Board of Secondary Education, the anger of the students is visible across the country. Most questions are being raised on the board’s on-screen marking system. The situation has become such that almost every fourth student who appeared in the examination asked for a scanned copy of his answer sheet. This is being considered as the biggest rechecking crisis ever in the education world. According to the official data of CBSE, this year around 98.60 lakh copies of class 10th and 12th were digitally evaluated. A total of 17.68 lakh students appeared in the examination.

After the results were declared, as soon as the board opened the portal for marks verification and scan copy download, record applications started coming in within the first few hours. Within just 3 hours, more than 1.26 lakh students applied, due to which the board’s website came to a standstill. Till now, more than four lakh students have applied for scan copy and rechecking of 11.31 lakh answer sheets. This figure is approximately 23 percent of the total candidates, that is, directly the fourth student does not seem to be satisfied with his result.

Will CBSE 12th Exam be held again?

If compared with last year’s figures, the matter appears more serious. In the year 2025, about 1.31 lakh students had applied for rechecking and verification of 2.82 lakh copies. But this time the number of students has reached above 4 lakh, that is, a jump of about 238 percent has been recorded in one year. Because of this, a discussion has started on social media and in the education world whether the board may have to consider a big decision like re-doing the 12th exam. However, at present no such official announcement or indication has been given by the board.

Website crashes, students stay awake all night

The board’s portal has been under constant pressure in the last several days after the rechecking process started. Thousands of students complained that the error of Service Not Available is coming repeatedly on the website. Many students have to refresh 8 to 10 times to open a page. Many parents say that the portal works properly only for some time after 2 am, due to which students are forced to go overnight and apply. In many cases, money was deducted from the students’ accounts, but the applications were not submitted.

After all, what are the students demanding?

This time the students are fighting their battle mainly in three phases. The first phase is of marks verification, in which students are getting the totaling and data entry checked. In the second phase, students are asking for their scanned copies, so that they can see for themselves whether any questions have been left unchecked or marks have been deducted wrongly. In the third phase, students are demanding re-evaluation by challenging the evaluation of selected questions. After the growing controversy and technical glitches, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan also took cognizance of the matter. The Education Minister has sought a detailed report from CBSE on the complaints of server crash, wrong scanned copy and blurred answer sheets. According to sources, the ministry has also asked to fix the accountability of the external IT agencies involved in this entire process.
