Where to check CBSE Class 12 revised results 2026
Candidates can access their revised results and updated marksheets through the DigiLocker result portal.The revised marksheets are being uploaded in phases. Students whose marks have changed after re-evaluation will receive updated digital marksheets on the platform.
What if marks remain unchanged after re-evaluation?
CBSE has clarified that re-evaluation and verification are review processes and do not automatically lead to an increase in marks. Depending on the findings, marks may increase, decrease, or remain unchanged.Students who applied for verification of issues observed and received a “no change” result will be given an opportunity to inspect their answer books at the concerned CBSE Regional Office. The schedule for this process will be announced soon.
Does a change in marks mean there was an error in evaluation?
According to CBSE, not necessarily.The board stated that changes in marks after re-evaluation are a normal part of the review process and happen every year. The purpose of re-evaluation is to ensure that answers have been assessed according to the prescribed marking scheme and that any genuine discrepancies are corrected.
Difference between verification of issues observed and re-evaluation
CBSE has explained that both processes serve different purposes.Verification of issues observed allows students to report physical or procedural issues in the scanned answer book. These may include:
- Missing pages
- Missing supplementary answer sheets
- Missing maps or graphs
- Blurred pages
- Answer books belonging to another candidate
- Evaluation using the wrong marking scheme
Re-evaluation, on the other hand, allows students to request fresh evaluation of specific questions after obtaining a scanned copy of their answer book.Both facilities can be used for one or more subjects.
How CBSE ensured a fair review process
The board said that the entire process was conducted with utmost care and transparency.Experts from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras and the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kanpur were involved in monitoring the process. Every answer book submitted for re-evaluation was checked by two evaluators. Officials from CBSE headquarters and regional offices were also deputed to oversee the review process.The board added that all complaints regarding missing pages, blurred copies and related issues were thoroughly examined.
Reduced fees for students
CBSE has significantly reduced the charges for the review process.The fee for obtaining scanned copies of answer books has been reduced from Rs 700 to Rs 100. The fee for verification of issues observed has been reduced from Rs 500 to Rs 100, while the re-evaluation fee has been reduced from Rs 100 to Rs 25 per question.
Refund policy explained
Students who made duplicate or excess payments will receive refunds directly in their source accounts.CBSE has also announced that candidates whose marks increase after re-evaluation will receive a refund of the re-evaluation fee paid by them.
