This year’s board examination results have been marked by confusion as the new On-Screen Marking method of evaluation was adopted for the first time
The CBSE has announced that the Post-Result Activities portal for verification and re-evaluation of answer books will be operational from June 1, 2026 to ensure a transparent and glitch-free process.
Students with queries may contact the CBSE Tele-Counselling Helpline or the designated email support.
An increasing number of students, including in the UAE, are applying for re-evaluation of their Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 12 exam results this year, with students and educators citing concerns over the marking process and revised assessment methods.
This year’s board examination results have been marked by confusion as the new On-Screen Marking method of evaluation was adopted for the first time. It is a digital evaluation system where teachers assess scanned answer scripts on a computer screen instead of physical copies.
After the announcement of CBSE board results, families in the UAE, other Gulf countries, schools students abroad and in India raised concerns over lower-than-expected marks in several subjects.
Students have attributed their scores to this new system, and are increasingly submitting requests to check their answer books and get them re-evaluated.
Several schools say the number of re-evaluation requests has risen compared to previous years.
CBSE recently postponed its deadline for students to submit requests to obtain scanned copies of their evaluated answer books to May 25.
