Overview
- CBSE’s Class 12 results, released May 13, show an 85.20% pass rate versus 88.39% last year, with media citing over 1.63 lakh students placed in the compartment category.
- Students and parents report marks far below expectations, including cases where JEE-qualified candidates failed board subjects and lost eligibility for preferred colleges.
- Teachers who evaluated papers under the new on-screen system describe blurred scans, slow servers and scanning glitches that, they argue, risked misreading student work.
- CBSE says on-screen marking enforces stepwise, uniform scoring and has opened verification, access to evaluated scripts and re-evaluation, with outcomes that can raise or lower marks.
- Criticism has focused on costs reported by media and users such as ₹700 for a photocopy and ₹100 per question for re-evaluation, while CBSE urges use of its official portal and helpline 1800-11-8004 for support.
