CBSE 2025 Answer Sheet Re-evaluation Schedule Released: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced a revamped and more transparent process for post-result activities for the 2025 board examinations. The move is aimed at empowering students from Class 10 and Class 12 to take greater control over their academic outcomes by enabling access to scanned answer sheets and offering a structured way to request re-evaluation or mark verification. This step addresses longstanding concerns about evaluation accuracy and enhances the credibility of CBSE’s assessment process.
The CBSE Class 10 and Class 12 results for 2025 were officially announced on May 13, with the pass percentage showing a marginal improvement from last year. Following this, the board released an official notification outlining the timelines and procedures for applying for scanned copies of evaluated answer sheets, verification of marks, and re-evaluation of answers. The board has also clarified the fees, deadlines, and policy for issuing revised mark sheets in case of a change in marks.

New Guidelines on Answer Sheet Access and Re-evaluation
This year, CBSE has added an important step between result declaration and re-evaluation: access to scanned answer sheets. Students can review these digital copies before deciding whether to challenge any discrepancies.
CBSE stated, “There is a possibility that even after taking so many steps and measures, some mistakes remain unattended. In such a scenario, CBSE is giving an opportunity to the students to look at their answer books and inform the mistake to the Board so that the same can be rectified (if need be).”
The scanned copies are available only for subjects applied for, and students must apply separately for each subject. This step ensures that re-evaluation requests are well-informed and based on observed discrepancies, not guesswork.
Step-by-Step Process for Marks Verification and Re-evaluation
The entire re-evaluation process follows a strict sequence:
- Request for Scanned Copy of Answer Sheet
- Apply online via cbse.gov.in
- Pay ₹700 per subject
- Available for a limited window:
- Class 10: From May 21
- Class 12: From May 27
- Verification of Marks
- Apply after receiving scanned copy
- Fee: ₹100 per paper
- Dates:
- Class 10: May 28 onward
- Class 12: June 3 onward
- Verifies totaling errors and unchecked answers
- Re-evaluation
- Applicable only after verification and on specific answers
- Candidate must provide detailed justification
- Final marks may increase or decrease
- Revised mark sheets will be issued for changed marks
What Happens if Marks Change?
In the event of any change in marks, whether increased or decreased, students are required to surrender their current Mark Statement-cum-Certificate. The board will then issue a new, corrected certificate reflecting the updated scores.
CBSE has clarified, “In cases where there is a change in marks (both increase and decrease), such candidates shall have to surrender the Mark Statement-cum-Certificate currently in their possession.”
This policy reinforces the seriousness of the re-evaluation process and ensures accurate documentation for future academic or professional applications.
Upcoming Events and Future Updates
- Application Deadlines: Students must ensure they apply for photocopies and re-evaluation within the official timelines. Late applications will not be entertained.
- Revised Certificates: CBSE is expected to dispatch revised mark sheets by the end of July 2025.
- Next Session Planning: Class 12 students seeking college admissions must track university cut-offs and counselling rounds closely. Updated mark sheets will be critical in this process.
- Further CBSE Announcements: Keep checking cbse.gov.in or follow verified educational platforms like PressWire and Careers360 for additional updates.
The 2025 post-result system demonstrates CBSE’s commitment to fairness, accuracy, and student rights. This approach not only provides transparency but also reduces the likelihood of unresolved evaluation errors impacting students’ futures.
Students are advised to act promptly, stay informed, and utilize this opportunity to ensure their scores reflect their actual performance. Keep documents ready and track deadlines closely on the official website.
