The Ministry of Education has announced significant fee reductions for the CBSE Class 12 re-evaluation process, addressing student concerns regarding the marking system.
The Ministry of Education has introduced a revised fee structure for the CBSE Class 12 re-evaluation process in 2026, aimed at alleviating the financial burden on students seeking to contest their exam results. This change comes in response to ongoing concerns regarding the CBSE's on-screen marking system and the accuracy of evaluations.
The re-evaluation process for the CBSE Class 12 results will officially commence on May 19, 2026. Students will have the opportunity to apply for re-evaluation, verification, and to obtain scanned copies of their answer sheets during this period.
CBSE Class 12 Re-Evaluation Fees: Key Facts
In a significant move, the Ministry has reduced the fees associated with the re-evaluation process. The new fee structure is designed to make the process more accessible to students. Here are the details:
| Type of Fee | Previous Fees (INR) | Revised Fees (INR) |
|---|---|---|
| Viewing Answer Sheets | 200 | 100 |
| Validation of Answers | 200 | 100 |
| Re-evaluation per Question | 50 | 25 |
According to Sanjay Kumar, Secretary of the Ministry of Education, students will be charged INR 100 to view their answer sheets and INR 100 for validation. The fee for re-evaluation has been reduced to INR 25 per question. Importantly, if a student's marks increase following the re-evaluation, the entire fee will be refunded.
CBSE's Commitment to Transparency and Accuracy
In light of the recent controversies surrounding the CBSE's on-screen marking system, the Ministry has emphasized its commitment to ensuring transparency and accuracy in the evaluation process. The on-screen marking system, first implemented in 2014, has been subject to scrutiny due to concerns about potential errors in grading.
Approximately 1.25 crore answer scripts were evaluated, and while the vast majority of assessments were accurate, the Ministry acknowledges that errors can occur. To address these issues, the re-evaluation facility is available to students who believe their marks do not reflect their performance.
