The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has opened the window for re-evaluation and access to answer sheets for Class 12 students starting today, May 19. Students who are dissatisfied with their board examination results can now submit their applications online to receive digital copies of their evaluated answer sheets and subsequently request verification or re-evaluation.
To enhance transparency, CBSE has revamped the post-result grievance procedure this year. With the updated system, students will initially gain access to scanned answer sheets before deciding whether to apply for re-verification of their scores or request a re-evaluation of certain answers.
