Overview
- After the May 13 Class XII results, students sought scanned copies for roughly 11.3 lakh answer books through about 4.04 lakh applications, reflecting unusually high demand for post‑result scrutiny.
- CBSE says the verification and re‑evaluation portal ran from June 2 to June 7 and that more than 1.6 lakh students filed requests covering over 3.8 lakh answer books under supervision from government technical teams and IIT experts.
- Many students reported blurred scans, missing pages, mismatched handwriting and portal access problems including a ‘Roll Number Not Found’ message that CBSE says appeared when candidates had not first obtained scanned copies in the photocopy stage.
- Officials say the portal was under continuous cybersecurity monitoring, CBSE moved some data off the vendor’s servers and filed complaints about attempted disruptions, while preliminary police checks found no evidence of a data breach.
- The matter is now in judicial and administrative review with an NSUI petition prompting Delhi High Court notices listed for June 12, government audits and IIT security assessments, and re‑evaluation results due in the coming weeks that could change admissions and merit lists.
