CBSE 2025: Important Update on Scanned Answer Books, Verification & Re-evaluation for Class X & XII

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced a more transparent and student-friendly system for result review in 2024–25. Now, students of Class X and Class XII can request their scanned answer books, and apply for verification of marks and re-evaluation, giving them better insight and control over their results.

3-Step Process for Students of Class X & XII

1️⃣ Request Scanned Copy of Evaluated Answer Books

• Students can request scanned copies of their evaluated answer books for desired subjects.

• Scanned copies will be provided on a first-come, first-served basis via the student’s login account.

• All examiner-related information will be anonymized for privacy.

• Only online applications will be accepted during the notified schedule

---

2️⃣ Apply for Verification of Marks

• Available only for those who applied for scanned answer books.

• Students can check for:

  • Errors in totalling

  • Unmarked answers

  • Incorrect mark entries

• The verification result will be uploaded to the student's account.

• Note: A decrease in marks, even by one mark, will be applied and reflected in the revised mark sheet.

---

3️⃣ Apply for Re-evaluation

• Only those who received scanned copies can challenge marks for specific theory questions.

• Processing Fee: ₹100 per question.

• Students must refer to the official marking scheme and question paper before submitting challenges.

• Final Result after Re-evaluation is binding — no further appeal is allowed.

• A decrease in marks (even by one) will be affected.
