The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) failed to launch its Class 12 verification and re-evaluation portal on June 1, leaving thousands of students waiting to challenge their marks and apply for re-evaluation. The delay comes despite a four-member expert team from IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras auditing and strengthening the board's post-result services platform.
Students have been frustrated with the delay, with some expressing anger over the CBSE's behavior. Officials associated with the exercise maintained that the launch would take place before midnight on June 1, but the website remained unavailable until the filing of the story on June 2.
The portal was originally scheduled to reopen on May 29 for students who had already obtained scanned copies of their evaluated answer books. However, the Board postponed the launch to June 1, saying additional time was needed to ensure a 'transparent and glitch-free' process.
The delay prompted intervention from the Union government, with Union education minister Dharmendra Pradhan directing IIT Kanpur and IIT Madras to examine technical issues reported in CBSE's post-result services and assist the Board in ensuring a glitch-free process.
