CBSE Extends Class 12 Answer Copy Deadline After Major Tech Glitches
Struggling with the CBSE portal? Good news! The deadline for Class 12 scanned answer sheets is extended to May 24 after days of technical issues.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially extended the deadline for Class 12 students to apply for scanned copies of their answer sheets until May 24. This decision comes as a relief to thousands of students who faced persistent technical glitches on the official portal over the last few days. Reports indicate that the website remained largely inaccessible on May 19, 20, and 21, leaving many unable to submit their requests or complete payments.
Beyond the technical failures, the extension follows a wave of complaints regarding the board's On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. Students have raised serious concerns about evaluation accuracy, citing instances of unchecked answers, calculation errors in the final totals, and a lack of step-marking in subjects involving numerical problems. Some applicants also noted that marks recorded on individual pages did not match the final results reflected online, suggesting deeper flaws in the digital grading process.
With the portal now functioning again, students have been given a roughly 35-hour window to secure their answer copies. The board's move aims to address the mounting frustration among the student community and ensure that those seeking re-evaluation have a fair chance to review their performance. If you are planning to apply for the 2026 session records, make sure to complete the process before the new deadline expires.
