Starting 2026, CBSE has scrapped post-result marks verification for Class 12 board exams, shifting to a fully digital evaluation system through On-Screen Marking (OSM). Officials say this eliminates totalling errors and reduces manpower needs. While Class 10 evaluation remains manual, Class 12 students must adapt to the new transparent process.

Key Highlights

Major Change: CBSE announced that Class 12 students will no longer be able to apply for post-result marks verification from 2026.
Digital Evaluation: The board has adopted On-Screen Marking (OSM), ensuring answer scripts are digitally scanned and evaluated, minimizing human error.
Transparency Boost: Officials, including Examination Controller Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj, emphasized that the new system eliminates totalling mistakes and unmarked responses.
Class 10 Exception: While Class 12 moves to digital evaluation, Class 10 answer books will continue to be checked manually.
Student Advisory: CBSE has urged students not to fall for social media rumours or misinformation about paper leaks and verification processes.

What This Means for Class 12 Students

For decades, students who doubted their marks could request verification to ensure no calculation errors occurred. With OSM, this step is redundant. Every answer script is scanned, marked digitally, and stored securely, leaving no scope for manual totalling mistakes.

This change is expected to reduce stress for students, as they can trust the accuracy of their results. However, it also means students must accept their marks as final, with no option for re-verification. The only recourse available will be re-evaluation of specific answers, if permitted under CBSE’s revised guidelines.

Why It Matters

Efficiency: The move streamlines CBSE’s evaluation process, saving time and resources.
Fairness: Digital evaluation ensures uniformity across exam centers, reducing discrepancies.
Adaptation: Students and schools must familiarize themselves with the new system, especially as nearly 46 lakh candidates across 26 countries appear for CBSE exams annually.

This marks a significant step in CBSE’s modernization drive, aligning India’s largest school board with global best practices in digital assessment.
