New Delhi: Some sections of students expressed discontent on Tuesday as they faced technical glitches while accessing the portal for marks re-evaluation for CBSE Class XII.
The portal was supposed to go live on May 29, the date was changed to June 1 and then June 2.
At 4.42 am, CBSE announced on social media that students can use the portal to apply for re-evaluation and also put out a video tutorial on it .
Over 98,000 class XII students had asked for the scanned copies of their answer sheets, totalling over 4 lakh, for viewing ever since the controversy over the On-Screen Marking System broke out.
The process for applying for re-evaluation was opened this morning.
Advocate Vineet Jindal took to X and said he had received complaints from many students and shared a screenshot from a student to substantiate it. In a post on X, Jindal said,
"The re-evaluation portal of CBSE is still facing glitches and technical issues. Sharing this screenshot as received from a student. Several students have reported difficulties in accessing their answer sheets and completing the re-evaluation process due to persistent portal-related problems. CBSE should urgently address these issues and ensure that students are not prejudiced because of technical failures beyond their control."
Deepak Suryavanshi shared his experience. He posted: "It's still not working, after filling log-in details & filling Captcha etc, its doesn't log in, it says "verification failed, Pls. check your details & try again".
