When will CBSE declare Class 12 re-evaluation results? Supreme Court directs board to release result by Friday

The Supreme Court on Monday directed the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) to take all necessary steps to declare the Class 12 Improvement Examination results as soon as possible. The court also asked the board to submit a detailed plan by Friday on how it intends to release the results, irrespective of the effort required to complete the process.

"If needed, then burn the midnight oil, but do it by Friday," it said.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has closed the application process for Class 12 verification of marks and re-evaluation. The application window remained open from June 2 to June 7.

"During the above application period, more than 1.6 lakh candidates successfully submitted requests pertaining to over 3.8 lakh answer books... ," CBSE said.

Only those candidates who had applied for their scanned answer books during the preceding stage (Answer Books Photocopy) were eligible to avail the subsequent stage of Verification of Issues Observed and Re-evaluation of Answers.

However, some students continued to raise concerns on social media, claiming that they did not receive their scanned answer sheets on time. Responding to these complaints, CBSE said it remains committed to a transparent and student-centric post-result process and is addressing genuine concerns through its support channels.

When Will CBSE Release Re-evaluation Results?

CBSE's re-evaluation results are generally declared several weeks after the application process closes, according to The Economic Times. Since the application window ended on June 7, revised results are expected to be released in July 2026.

CBSE has not announced an official date for the release of Class 12 re-evaluation results.

Students are advised to regularly check the official CBSE website for updates.

Once the process is completed, any changes in marks will be reflected in the revised score records issued by the board.

The 2026 CBSE Class 12 result fiasco began when results were declared on May 13 with a sharp drop in pass percentage and unexpectedly low marks in core subjects like Physics, Chemistry, and Mathematics.

CBSE introduced a new On-Screen Marking (OSM) system where 98.66 lakh answer sheets were scanned and evaluated digitally by 70,000+ evaluators through a private company, Coempt Eduteck. Students reported blurry PDF scans, missing pages, missing answer marks, and some even received another student's answer sheets.
