CBSE Opens Class 12 Re-evaluation Portal as Cyberattack Hits Launch

The board has given students a short, binding route to challenge question-level marks that shape college admissions.

Overview

  • CBSE activated the Class 12 re-evaluation portal on Tuesday, June 2, and is accepting online applications for a limited, time‑bound window.
  • The board said the site faced a denial-of-service–style incident that generated roughly 1.5 million hits in two minutes and recorded more than 100,000 attempted file-accesses.
  • Despite technical problems, CBSE said the platform was tuned for over 8,000 concurrent users and more than 16,000 students had completed submissions by mid‑afternoon on Tuesday.
  • The board announced revised fees: scanned answer copies at ₹100 per subject, marks verification ₹100 per subject, and re-evaluation at ₹25 per question with a ₹25 refund if that question’s marks increase; CBSE also said re-evaluation results will be final.
  • Students and teachers continue to flag blurred scans and some answers uploaded to the wrong accounts; CBSE has admitted at least two upload errors, promised corrections, and said its cybersecurity team is investigating.
