CBSE Re-Evaluation 2026: Accessing the board’s answer sheet portal on May 20, 2026, several students faced delays due to either the inaccessibility of the portal or the access link had not been activated on time. Many have also complained that the portal is showing a “service unavailable” message. One student posted on social media, “It has been almost 24 hours since the portal was supposed to open, but the link is still not working.”
Addressing these concerns, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) extended the deadline till May 23, allowing students extra time to access their answer scripts. Earlier, the last date to apply for the CBSE Class 12th scanned schnauzer sheets was May 22.
However, students have demanded to open the portal for at least a week. They have argued that the official portal has remained non-functional since the opening of the application window.
CBSE Re-Evaluation 2026: How To Apply For Class 12th Answer Sheet Photocopy?
Here’s how students can apply to get their scanned CBSE Class 12th answer sheets from the official portal:
Step 1: Open the CBSE website.
Step 2: Click on the link to request a photocopy of your answer sheet.
Step 3: Fill in your details, including roll number, class, and subjects for which you want the scanned answer sheets.
Step 4: Pay the prescribed fee through online payment mode.
Step 5: After your request is processed, a scanned copy of your answer sheet will be uploaded.
Step 6: Download and review it carefully.
CBSE Class 12th Scanned Answer Sheet: Fee Details
To get their scanned answer copies, students need to pay Rs 100, which is significantly lower compared to earlier which was Rs 700. Similarly, for verification, students have to pay Rs 100, rather than Rs 500. Meanwhile, the fee for re-checking each question is Rs. 25.
What Happens After Getting the Answer Sheet?
Once students receive the scanned copy of their evaluated answer scripts, they can carefully review the marking and identify any discrepancies. If needed, they can apply for re-evaluation or verification during the scheduled window. The board has clarified that marks may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged after review.
Students are advised to regularly check the official CBSE portal for updates regarding the activation of the access link and revised timelines. Since the board has extended the deadline, students who faced technical difficulties now have additional time to complete the process.
