CBSE 12th Board Exam 2026: Evaluation Goes Digital, No Post-Result Verification Marks

CBSE Class 12 Evaluation to Shift to On-Screen Marking (OSM)

• Under the new system, Class 12 answer sheets will be scanned and evaluated digitally. The OSM model is designed to eliminate totalling errors, minimise human intervention, and accelerate the declaration of CBSE 12th results.

• Teachers will be able to assess copies remotely from designated school facilities, reducing logistical delays and transportation costs.

• The Board clarified that the CBSE Class 10 evaluation process will continue in physical mode for 2026.

No Post-Result Verification of Marks for Class 12

Until now, students dissatisfied with their CBSE Class 12th results could apply for verification of marks to check totalling errors or discrepancies. However, with the implementation of On-Screen Marking, the Board has expressed confidence that digital evaluation will drastically reduce calculation mistakes and manual errors.

• In a landmark decision, CBSE has confirmed that students will no longer be able to apply for post-result verification of marks for Class 12.

• The Board stated that the enhanced accuracy of digital evaluation makes manual re-verification unnecessary, thereby streamlining the result process and reducing administrative workload.

• Students are therefore advised to carefully review their performance expectations, as the 2026 Class 12 board results will be considered final under the new digital evaluation framework.
