Re-evaluation of marks permitted by CBSE from this year onwards

The Central Board of Secondary Education will allow Class XII students currently appearing for the Board exams to not only get a copy of their evaluated answer sheets, but also seek re-evaluation instead of just a recount of the marks.
Ushering in one of the most radical exam reforms, the Central Board of Secondary Education will allow Class XII students currently appearing for the Board exams to not only get a copy of their evaluated answer sheets, but also seek re-evaluation instead of just a recount of the marks.
Students can also specify which questions they want to be re-evaluated on. The facility will be open to those who apply for it and will be completely online, from availing a copy of the answer sheet to requesting re-evaluation.
According to CBSE sources, the exam committee has approved the move. However, as of now, it will be available only for English, Hindi, physics, chemistry, mathematics, political science and economics. There will also be a cap on the number of questions sought to be re-evaluated.
After a Supreme Court ruling, CBSE had last year provided photocopies of answer sheets to candidates who asked for it. But dissatisfied students had to be content with a ‘verification’ of marks, which meant a retotalling of marks given for each answer.
The provision of verification of marks/grades and obtaining photocopy of the evaluated answer sheets will also continue. But in place of photocopies, candidates who apply will get a digitized version of the answer sheets.
