The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has opened its post-result application portal for Class 10 students, enabling candidates to obtain scanned copies of their evaluated answer books following the declaration of the Second Board Examination results. The Board has also announced that the verification of marks and re-evaluation process will commence from August 14, providing students with an opportunity to review the evaluation of their answer scripts through a transparent, technology-driven mechanism.
The initiative is part of CBSE’s ongoing effort to strengthen the credibility of its evaluation process while allowing students to identify any genuine discrepancies before seeking re-evaluation.

A Transparent Post-Result System for Students
With lakhs of students appearing for the CBSE Class 10 Board Examination every year, post-result services have become an important mechanism for ensuring fairness and accountability.
Under the latest process, students can:
- Obtain scanned copies of evaluated answer books.
- Review the marking awarded by examiners.
- Identify any discrepancies or evaluation-related issues.
- Apply for verification of specific concerns.
- Request re-evaluation of answers wherever permissible.
Unlike earlier systems where students had limited visibility into the evaluation process, the revised framework gives candidates direct access to their evaluated answer scripts before initiating further review requests.

Who Can Apply?
The post-result facility is available for:
- Students who appeared in the 2026 CBSE Class 10 Main Board Examination.
- Students who appeared in both the Main Examination and the Second Board Examination, subject to the Board’s prescribed eligibility conditions.
CBSE has issued separate guidelines depending on the examination category under which the student appeared, ensuring that the review process aligns with each candidate’s examination history.

How the New Process Works
CBSE has streamlined the entire post-result workflow into an online process.
Step 1: Obtain Scanned Copy
Students first apply online to receive a digital copy of their evaluated answer book.
Step 2: Review the Answer Script
Candidates carefully examine every page to identify any discrepancies or evaluation concerns.
Step 3: Apply for Verification
If any issue is observed, students may request verification through the online portal.
Step 4: Seek Re-evaluation
Only after reviewing the scanned answer script can students request re-evaluation of specific answers where they believe marks deserve reconsideration.

Online Process with Aadhaar-Based Authentication
To improve security and prevent unauthorized access, CBSE has incorporated Aadhaar-based identity verification for logging into the post-result portal.
Students are required to:
- Log in using their registered credentials.
- Complete identity verification.
- Submit applications online.
- Make fee payments digitally through approved payment modes.
The Board has clarified that the entire application process is online, with no offline requests being accepted after the prescribed deadline.

Why This Matters for Students
The availability of scanned answer books offers several benefits:
Greater Transparency
Students can independently review the evaluation before applying for re-evaluation.
Better Understanding of Performance
Seeing the evaluated answer script helps students understand where marks were awarded or deducted.
Reduced Unnecessary Re-evaluation Requests
Students can make informed decisions instead of filing applications based on assumptions.
Improved Trust
Providing direct access to evaluated answer books enhances confidence in the examination system and promotes accountability.
