Thousands of CBSE Class 12 students faced technical issues and poor quality scanned answer sheets during the revaluation process. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) opened the application window for scanned copies on May 19, 2026 . Many students reported that the CBSE website crashed frequently. This occurred as students sought to review their exam papers.
Technical Glitches Plague Revaluation Portal
Students encountered numerous errors when trying to access the revaluation portal. These included 'service unavailable' messages. Payment failures were also reported. Some students paid the fees, but the portal did not update their payment status. The application deadline for scanned copies was extended to May 23, 2026 . This extension aimed to address some of the problems. However, student frustration continues.
Unreadable Scanned Answer Sheets Cause Concern
A significant issue involves the quality of scanned answer sheets. Many students received blurred and unreadable copies. They could not read their own handwriting or answers. This raises doubts about the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system used for evaluation. Parents questioned how evaluators could accurately grade papers that are now illegible digitally.
Teachers also reported problems. They noted system glitches during the initial evaluation. Some cited a lack of adequate training for digital correction. Students are seeking every mark for college admissions. They demand a more reliable re-evaluation system.

Students facing these issues should document all errors. This includes screenshots of portal crashes and payment confirmations. They should contact CBSE support for assistance. The ongoing problems impact students preparing for competitive exams like JEE, NEET, and CUET.
