Before starting the process, a detailed discussion is also done by the board on the marking scheme. Last year, only 20 answer books were checked by each evaluator every day, for a duration of 8 hours.
Opportunity For Re-evaluation
CBSE gives the students an opportunity to look at their answer books and check for any mistakes left unattended by the evaluator. Check below for the options available for the candidates.
- Verification of marks

- Re-evaluation of answers
From last year, CBSE has also introduced a system where students will now be provided scanned answer books of the desired subject and check their copies to inform CBSE of any mistakes found.
Students who wish to appear for the supplementary exams must apply within the stipulated time. Students who are eligible and intend to appear in the supplementary examination are advised by the board not to wait for the verification or re-evaluation results. They must ensure that their application is submitted as per the official schedule.
