CBSE Opens Online Window For Class 12 Re-Evaluation, Verification And Supplementary Exams

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced post-result services for Class 12 students seeking review or improvement of their board examination scores, including verification of marks, photocopies of evaluated answer sheets, re-evaluation, and supplementary examinations.

The board stated that all applications will be conducted exclusively online, and students must strictly adhere to the notified deadlines, as no late submissions will be accepted.

Supplementary Exam Scheduled For July 15

According to the board’s notification, the Class 12 supplementary examination for 2026 will be conducted on July 15, 2026.

Applications for the compartment and supplementary exams are expected to open through schools starting June 2.

The supplementary examination provides students placed in the compartment category an opportunity to improve their scores within the same academic year rather than waiting for the next board cycle.

Pass Percentage Drops This Year

The announcement comes after a decline in this year’s overall Class 12 pass percentage.

CBSE recorded an overall pass rate of 85.20 per cent in 2026, marking a drop of 3.19 percentage points compared to the previous year.

The results also reflected significant regional variation. While Thiruvananthapuram emerged among the top-performing regions with a pass percentage of 95.62 per cent, Prayagraj recorded a comparatively lower pass rate of 72.43 per cent.

Girls continued to outperform boys, maintaining a long-standing trend in CBSE results with a performance gap of 6.73 percentage points.

Education experts say the decline in pass percentage has increased interest in re-evaluation and supplementary examination options among students.

Three Post-Result Services Available

CBSE has introduced three separate post-result facilities for students dissatisfied with their marks:

Verification Of Marks

Students can request verification to check whether there has been any error in the total marks calculation or omission in marking.

Photocopy Of Evaluated Answer Sheet

Students can obtain scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets to review marking patterns and identify potential discrepancies.

Question-Wise Re-Evaluation

After reviewing answer sheets, students may apply for re-evaluation of specific questions they believe were incorrectly assessed.

Fees For Services

CBSE has prescribed the following fees for post-result services:

• ₹500 for verification of marks
• ₹700 for obtaining photocopies of evaluated answer sheets
• ₹100 per question for re-evaluation

The application windows for these services are expected to open in phases from mid to late May for limited durations.

Fully Online Process

The board clarified that the entire post-result process will remain digital.

Students must apply through the official CBSE portal within the announced timelines. The board has also highlighted that its digital evaluation system is designed to minimise errors, though the re-evaluation mechanism allows students to address issues such as unchecked answers, missing marks, or calculation discrepancies.

Timeline Of Events

The CBSE Class 12 board examinations for 2026 were conducted between February 17 and April 10, while results were declared in May.

Following the declaration of results, CBSE is now implementing the sequential post-result process:

• Photocopy requests
• Verification of marks
• Re-evaluation applications
• Supplementary examinations on July 15

The board is expected to release detailed schedules and application windows through official notifications in the coming weeks.
