Marks revised following CBSE re-evaluation; Jharkhand now boasts Class 12 toppers across all three streams..

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) released the Class 12 re-evaluation results recently. Following this, there have been significant changes in the marks of many students; notably, a large number of students saw an increase in their scores. Consequently, the topper rankings for the CBSE Class 12 exams have also undergone a major shift. Students from Jharkhand have emerged as toppers across all three streams following the re-evaluation results. Avni Kejriwal from Ranchi made history by securing a perfect score of 500 out of 500, becoming the All-India topper as well as the topper of the Commerce stream. Alongside Avni, Aditya and Bhavya also emerged as toppers in the CBSE Class 12 exams, securing the top positions in the Science and Arts streams, respectively.

Let us understand the entire matter in detail—specifically the CBSE Class 12 re-evaluation issue—and learn more about the toppers from Jharkhand across all three streams.

**CBSE Class 12 OSM and Re-evaluation**

This year, CBSE evaluated Class 12 answer sheets using the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. A controversy arose regarding the OSM system when students applied for scanned copies of their answer sheets. Many students alleged issues such as blurred images of the answer sheets and unfair marking (including lower scores), and some even claimed that their answer sheets had been swapped. The Central Government has now constituted a committee to investigate the OSM tender process.

Amidst the OSM controversy, CBSE initiated a re-evaluation process for the Class 12 answer sheets, the results of which were released recently. Many students saw their marks increase during re-evaluation, which altered the topper rankings.
