CBSE Declares Over 87% of Class 12 Re-evaluation Results Amid Controversy

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Sunday announced the release of the first phase of Class 12 verification and re-evaluation results, declaring outcomes for more than 87 per cent of applications received from students seeking a review of their board exam marks, amid widespread controversy over its Online Scanned Marking (OSM) system.

The results were announced weeks after several Class 12 students were released, following which many students alleged that the scanned copies of answer sheets provided by the board did not match their handwriting, raising concerns over possible answer-sheet mismatches and triggering demands for greater transparency in the evaluation process.

In a statement, CBSE said the outcomes of verification of observed issues and re-evaluation requests are being released in phases, with the remaining results expected to be declared soon.

Students can access their updated updated result through the official DigiLocker portal.

"CBSE has commenced the release of Class XII Verification of issues observed and Re-evaluation outcomes. The outcomes are being released in a phased manner, with over 87% of the total applications received being declared today. The outcomes of the remaining applications will be made available in phases and the entire process is expected to be completed soon," it said on X.

The board further assured students on fairness and maintained that every application was processed through a "robust, transparent and carefully monitored system" and urged students not to rely on rumours or unverified social media claims regarding the review process.

CBSE also said the post-result services platform operated under the supervision of experts from the Digital India Corporation, IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras to ensure the security and integrity of the system.

"CBSE assures students that every application has been processed through a robust, transparent, and carefully monitored system to ensure fairness and accuracy. Students are advised not to believe rumours or unverified social media posts and to rely only on official CBSE communications for authentic information. CBSE offices would always remain available to provide guidance and assistance to students<" it said.

The development comes as thousands of students await revised marks for admission and other academic purposes, while questions over the functioning of the OSM system continue to draw attention.
