CBSE Class 12 Revaluation 2026 Begins Today: Check Fees, Last Date, and Complete Process

Central Board of Secondary Education has officially started the Class 12 revaluation and answer sheet review process for 2026. Students who are dissatisfied with their marks can now apply online to access scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets and request verification or re-evaluation.

The decision comes after widespread criticism from students, parents, and teachers following the announcement of CBSE Class 12 Result 2026 on May 13. Many students raised concerns over lower-than-expected marks and the newly introduced On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.

Why Has CBSE Started Revaluation Early?

Following strong reactions on social media regarding evaluation transparency, CBSE held a press conference on May 17 and announced a revised review process for students seeking clarification regarding their marks.

The board has also reduced the fees for answer sheet verification and photocopy requests, making the process more affordable for students and families.

What Should Students Keep in Mind?

CBSE has advised students to carefully examine the scanned answer sheet before submitting objections because:

• Only reported discrepancies will be reviewed
• General complaints without clear observations may not be considered
• The final decision will be based on expert evaluation

Why Is This Revaluation Process in the Spotlight?

This year’s revaluation process has gained major attention due to concerns over the digital evaluation system and lower marks in subjects like:

• Physics
• Chemistry
• Mathematics
• Accountancy
• Economics

Many students claimed their scores were significantly below expectations despite strong performance in competitive exams and school assessments.

CBSE says the new evaluation system focuses more on conceptual understanding and analytical writing rather than rote learning, but the debate over fairness and transparency continues among students and educators.
