Overview
- CBSE used a new on‑screen system to grade about 98.6 lakh Class 12 answer books, and the overall pass rate fell to 85.20%, down 3.19 percentage points from last year.
- After results were released, many students reported unexpectedly low scores in Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics and questioned step‑wise marking and evaluator training.
- An examiner involved in checking alleged the platform sometimes failed to save entered marks, a claim that remains unverified by the board.
- CBSE said digital marking improves objectivity and reduces manual errors and reminded students they can request answer‑sheet copies and apply for re‑evaluation.
- Some teachers said the interface was easy to use and reduced calculation mistakes, yet students are pressing for clearer marking explanations and more transparent review paths.
