CBSE Revised Its Evaluation Process for 2025 Board Exams Scanned Answer Sheets Now Mandatory Before Re-evaluation In a major step to improve transparency and make the examination system more student-friendly, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) revised its post-result evaluation process for the 2025 board exams. The new process made it mandatory for students to first obtain scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets before applying for verification of marks or re-evaluation. Earlier, students could apply for verification of marks directly after the results were declared. Now, they had to first review their evaluated answer sheets. This allowed them to make an informed decision about whether or not, they should go ahead with verification or re-evaluation. CBSE Controller of Examinations, Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj, explained the reason behind the change. He said, “We revised the order of post-result processes to ensure transparency and reduce unnecessary applications. This cha...
