CBSE portal for re-evaluation slated to open on June 1 inactive till late evening

The CBSE’s re-evaluation portal, set for a much-awaited launch on June 1, remained inaccessible to users till late evening on Monday (June 1, 2026).

On Monday (June 1) afternoon, the CBSE had stated that the “verification and re-evaluation portal will go live soon” but was inactive till the time of this report. Officials said that the portal would most likely go live before midnight.

The delays follow severe criticism over the board’s expanded On-Screen Marking (OSM) system used for evaluating the Class 12 examinations this year.

The application portal was originally slated to open on May 29. The CBSE later postponed the launch to June 1 to build a “transparent and glitch-free process”.

When students tried to access scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets earlier in May, they encountered broken pages, faulty payment gateways, and blurred or incomplete digital scripts.

To salvage the system, the Ministry of Education brought in top engineering experts from IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras to audit vulnerabilities and fortify the infrastructure.

Only students who have already applied for and received their scanned digital answer books can apply for re-evaluation.

The CBSE has stated that when applying for re-evaluation the student must specify exact question numbers and explain online how an answer matches the official marking scheme but was incorrectly evaluated.

Over 4 lakh students have applied to check their answer sheets this year with a massive volume of complaints from students who received lower-than-expected scores in Physics and Mathematics.

Following intervention by Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan, the CBSE has promised that all re-evaluation fees will be fully refunded if a student’s marks increase after the review.
