More than 40,000 Class 12 students have applied to get their answer sheets verified and re-evaluated, as of noon on Wednesday, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) said.
“The portal has accepted 4,924 applications for verification and 39,056 applications for re-evaluation (total of 43,980) as of 12 pm (on Wednesday),” the CBSE said in a statement.
“Students need not have an account with these banks to complete payment but can use any of these payment gateways to make payments,” the CBSE said.
This follows concerns raised by students and parents regarding the new on-screen marking evaluation system deployed by the CBSE this year.
A visual guide and tutorial video have also been made available to help students complete the process, it added.

The Board said students can pay for their applications using the payment gateways of the State Bank of India, Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda, or Indian Bank which are available on the verification and re-evaluation portal. “Students need not have an account with these banks to complete payment but can use any of these payment gateways to make payments,” the CBSE said.
Delayed portal launch
The portal was launched after a delay on June 2, although the Board had earlier said that applications for verification and re-evaluation of answer books were expected to begin by May 29. This follows concerns raised by students and parents regarding the new on-screen marking evaluation system deployed by the CBSE this year.
The Board said the outcome of the requests would be communicated after the completion of the process and advised candidates to submit their applications by midnight on June 6.
A visual guide and tutorial video have also been made available to help students complete the process, it added. Aadhaar-based verification of applicants was introduced for security reasons, the Board said, despite the fact that making such verification mandatory goes against a Supreme Court ruling.
