CBSE refutes a viral fake notice claiming cancellation of answer‑sheet re‑evaluation, extends request deadline to May 24, 2026, and assures students of continued transparency.
A bogus circular claiming CBSE halted its re‑evaluation process has been debunked. The board confirms the procedure is still on track and extends the request deadline by one day.

There’s a fake notice floating around social media. It says the Central Board of Secondary Education has scrapped the ongoing re‑evaluation and photocopy request for the 2026 board exams.
The document is dated May 23, 2026, and claims “unprecedented technical challenges” forced the board to cancel the process. CBSE says that’s plain false.
The board urges students and parents to rely only on its official website or verified channels for any updates. No change in the answer‑sheet re‑evaluation mechanism.
CBSE also points out the portal got slammed after results came out. Lakhs of students tried to download scanned answer books at once, causing slowdowns, payment hiccups and access issues.
To ease the pressure, the board has pushed the last date for applying for scanned answer books to May 24, 2026. It says the system has been upgraded to handle the load.
All genuine grievances about scanned answer sheets will still go through the prescribed review mechanism. The board reaffirms its commitment to transparency, fairness and protecting students’ academic interests.
So, the re‑evaluation is not cancelled. It’s moving ahead, just with a bit more leeway on the deadline.
