Students who appeared for the CBSE Class 12 examinations have until tonight to submit applications for scanned copies of their answer sheets. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has set May 25, 2026, as the final date for receiving such requests through its official portal.

The facility allows candidates to review their evaluated answer scripts digitally, which proves particularly useful for students planning to apply for re-evaluation or simply wishing to understand their performance better. Bihar students, who form a significant portion of CBSE's candidate base, are advised to complete their applications before the deadline expires.

To access the service, students must visit the CBSE official website and log in using their roll number and school number. A nominal fee is charged for each subject's answer sheet copy. The board typically processes these requests within a few weeks, providing high-quality scanned images that clearly show the examiner's marks and comments.

Education experts recommend that students carefully review their answer sheets before deciding on re-evaluation, as it helps them make informed decisions about which subjects warrant a second look. This transparency measure by CBSE has been widely appreciated by students and parents across India, including those in Bihar's government and private schools affiliated with the board.
