The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has extended the deadline for Class 12 students to apply for answer sheet verification and re-evaluation by one day, till June 7.
This step comes following complaints about difficulties accessing the board’s post-result services portal.

In a post on X, the board said the decision was taken in the interest of students to provide additional time and support for completing the process.

Students can use the online portal to report issues found in scanned copies of their answer books and request re-evaluation if they are dissatisfied with the assessment of their board examination papers.

CBSE had opened the portal on June 2, allowing students to flag concerns such as missing pages, omitted supplementary sheets, absent maps or graphs, blurred scans, incorrect answer books, or evaluation against a different question paper set.

The extension comes amid a controversy surrounding the board’s On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. Several Class 12 students alleged that the scanned answer sheets uploaded by CBSE did not match their handwriting, raising questions about possible mismatches during the evaluation process.

In response to the concerns, the Cabinet Secretariat has constituted a one-member committee to examine the procurement of services related to the OSM system used by the board.
