CBSE Class 12 Re-Evaluation Process: Over 28,000 Applications Submitted
Current Status of CBSE Class 12 Re-Evaluation Applications
The application phase for the re-evaluation of CBSE Class 12 results is currently active. As of 10:00 PM on May 2, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) reported that over 28,000 students had submitted their applications for re-evaluation. In response to student feedback, the board has made several enhancements to improve the user experience, including extending the session time limit. The CBSE has also assured that their teams are diligently monitoring the system to maintain a secure and user-friendly platform for all students.
Cybersecurity Challenges Faced by the CBSE Portal
Earlier updates from the CBSE indicated that by 3:00 PM on May 2, more than 16,000 students had already applied through the re-evaluation portal, despite facing numerous cyberattack attempts. The board disclosed that the portal experienced around 1.5 million cyberattack attempts within just two minutes.
Insights from the Education Minister
**What did the Education Minister say regarding the re-evaluation statistics?**
Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan had previously suggested that it was unlikely more than 20% of eligible students would apply for re-evaluation. Based on this estimate, the expected number of applicants was around 80,000. However, with 16,000 applications received within the first 9–10 hours of the portal's launch and ample time left for submissions, it is now believed that the actual number of applicants may significantly surpass the initial projections.
Eligibility Criteria for Re-Evaluation
**Who is eligible to apply for re-evaluation?**
Students who have received scanned copies of their evaluated answer sheets can apply for re-evaluation. To initiate the process, applicants must log into the portal, complete the Aadhaar verification, and select the necessary service. They will then need to provide their subject details, pay the required fees, and submit their application. The Board has stressed the importance of reviewing applications thoroughly before submission, as no changes will be allowed afterward.
Alternative Verification for Students Without Aadhaar
What should a student do if they do not possess an Aadhaar card?
The CBSE has clarified that students lacking an Aadhaar card can use the Aadhaar card of a parent, guardian, or relative for verification. It is essential that the name, date of birth, and gender associated with the Aadhaar card match exactly with the details of the individual whose Aadhaar number is being used.
