CBSE extends Class 12 verification, re-evaluation application deadline to 7 June

June 6, 2026 /Posted byPrajwal EW / 0

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has extended the deadline for Class 12 students to apply for verification and re-evaluation of answer sheets by one day, until midnight on 7 June.

The decision follows reports from students who faced difficulties accessing answer books and submitting applications through the board’s post-result services portal, which was launched on 2 June.

In a post on X, the CBSE said the extension was granted to provide students with additional time to complete the process.

The board had earlier set the deadline for midnight on 6 June.

The online portal allows students to report issues in scanned copies of answer books, including missing pages, supplementary sheets, maps or graphs, blurred pages, incorrect answer books, or evaluation against a different question paper set. Students may also apply for re-evaluation of answers.

The extension comes amid concerns raised by some Class 12 students who claimed that scanned copies of their answer sheets uploaded by the CBSE did not match their handwriting, prompting questions over the board’s on-screen marking (OSM) system.

Separately, the Cabinet Secretariat has constituted a one-member committee to examine the procurement of services for the OSM system by the CBSE.

“An uneducated Indian is not a free Indian. India’s education system remains trapped in regulations that reward compliance over learning and scarcity over opportunity. The solution to exam leaks, coaching factories and unemployability is not more licensing, but more supply. We need more schools, more colleges, more competition and more education entrepreneurs. A 21st-century education must not only impart knowledge but encourage questioning. India does not need fewer cooks in the kitchen; it needs more cooks, more recipes and fewer bureaucrats guarding empty plates.”

India’s examination system rests on a foundational assumption that the process is fair, even when outcomes disappoint, and once that trust erodes, the system loses its legitimacy. This is not merely a technical controversy but a credibility crisis, because digitising evaluation is not the same as reforming it. Technology can assist evaluation, but it cannot replace the intellectual responsibility that fair assessment demands. The controversy has shown that technology has not removed subjectivity or error, it has merely shifted them into a different format. Educational institutions cannot run experiments on students whose futures depend on these results, and the obligation is to anticipate failure before implementation, not offer explanations after the damage is done.
