New Delhi, May 24: Students across the country are facing significant challenges as they attempt to submit their revaluation applications to the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE). The application process, which began on May 19, has been marred by technical glitches, causing the official website to be down for the past five days. Today marks the last date for submission, yet many students are unable to access the site.
Reports indicate that even when the website is operational, students must refresh the page multiple times—often up to ten—to proceed with their applications. Those who applied several days ago have yet to receive their answer sheets or any updates via email or text.
Central Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan has acknowledged the issues, including server downtime and failed payments, and has requested a detailed report from the responsible agencies.
One student expressed frustration on social media, sharing that their payment of ₹300 was rejected four times, while another payment of ₹3 was accepted.
Many students received messages indicating successful payment and application submission earlier in the day, only to be informed later that their payments were refunded and their applications were not submitted. This has raised concerns about their ability to apply for re-evaluation in a timely manner.
Amidst these technical difficulties, a fake circular claiming the cancellation of the re-evaluation process for 2026 has gone viral on social media. The circular falsely states that fees paid by students would be refunded within 15 working days and that their previous marks would be considered final. CBSE has clarified that this circular is entirely fraudulent.
Additionally, students have reported discrepancies in their answer sheets, with some pages missing and others duplicated. A student from Madhya Pradesh noted that critical pages in their business studies answer sheet were not scanned, affecting their scores.
The CBSE helpline numbers have also proven ineffective, as students report that calls go unanswered, leaving them without support during this critical time. The helpline numbers are 1800-11-8002 and 011-22509256 through 22509259, with an email contact at [email protected].
