Re-evaluation portal recorded over 28,000 successful submissions: CBSE
New Delhi, June 3
The Central Board of Secondary Education on Tuesday said that its re-evaluation portal recorded over 28,000 successful submissions by 10 PM.
"CBSE verification & Re-evaluation Portal update. The portal is currently supporting nearly 14000 concurrent users, with over 28000 successful submissions as of 10 pm today"
"Based on student feedback, further improvements--including extended session time limits--have been implemented to enhance user experience. Our teams remain on constant watch to ensure a secure, reliable, and student-friendly platform," the Board wrote.
The development comes amid continued scrutiny of CBSE's digital infrastructure following reports of technical glitches in its post-result services and concerns raised by students regarding discrepancies in answer-sheet evaluation under the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.
The re-evaluation portal was launched as part of the board's post-result process and follows recent efforts by CBSE to strengthen cybersecurity safeguards surrounding the OnMark platform operated by its service provider.
On Sunday, the board had announced that a team of cybersecurity experts drawn from various government agencies and the Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) had been deployed to reinforce the platform's security architecture and monitor potential cyber threats.
CBSE has stated that the re-evaluation portal will remain open until midnight on June 6, 2026.
The board has fixed the fee for verification-related issues in scanned answer books at Rs 100 per answer book, while re-evaluation requests will be charged at Rs 25 per question.
The payment process has been made fully digital, with fees accepted only through online modes, including UPI, credit cards, debit cards and net banking, as part of CBSE's efforts to streamline the process and improve accessibility for students across the country.

Honestly, this re-evaluation thing feels like a bandaid on a bullet wound. The On-Screen Marking system has been problematic for years. Why can't they just train evaluators better instead of making students pay for corrections? My cousin's marks were way off last year, and even after re-evaluation, the process took months. CBSE needs to fix the root cause, not just the portal. 😤
As someone who works in IT, handling 14,000 concurrent users is decent but not extraordinary for a board of this scale. The cybersecurity move with IIT experts is good, but I hope they're also stress-testing for the June 6 deadline when traffic might spike. Also, ₹25 per question for re-evaluation seems cheap—back in my day in the US, we paid $50 per subject for such services. Good on CBSE for keeping it affordable.
Bhai, 28,000 successful submissions means 28,000 students felt their answer sheets were evaluated wrongly. That's a massive number! Either the exam was tough or the marking system is broken. My younger sister also applied for re-evaluation of her Maths paper. Let's see if CBSE actually listens or if this is just another way to make money. Rs 100 for verification is okay, but what about the students who can't afford even that? 🎯
Impressive that CBSE is using IIT experts for cybersecurity—that's a smart move. But I'm curious why the portal closes at midnight on June 6 instead of being open 24/7 during the submission period. Also, digital payments via UPI is a great step, but what about students in remote villages with no internet? Maybe CBSE should set up helpdesks in schools for such students. Overall, progress but still room for improvement.
