CBSE extends date for re-checking of answer scripts and providing photocopies

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has extended the date for submission of application online for re-checking of answer scripts has been extended upto June 27.

The date for online submission of application for obtaining photocopies of the answer scripts has been extended upto June 30, the CBSE announced on Thursday evening.

“The details will be made available on the CBSE website tomorrow and the online process will also be operational from tomorrow throughout this period,” the board said in a statement.

This comes after the students filed petitions in various court across the country including Delhi High Court questioning the evaluation process of the CBSE and its decision to do away with system of re-evaluation of answer scripts from 2016.

The board has to submit an affidavit before the Delhi High Court on Friday over its decision to end the system of re-evaluation of answer scripts.

The re-checking of answer scripts is limited to re-totalling of the scores while re-evaluation was meant for a fresh evaluation of a student's answer script.
