In an official update, the board said the decision was taken in view of heavy traffic on its website over the past few days, along with repeated attempts of unauthorised interference, which had led to technical disruptions. To ensure that no student is left out, the board has now extended the last date for applying for scanned copies of answer sheets.
The revised deadline has been set as May 24, 2025.
“The CBSE website has been facing unprecedented traffic since the past few days and has also faced several attempts of unauthorised interference, which has made it prone to disruptions. Hence, in an attempt to ensure that no student is left behind, the Board is extending the last date for obtaining scanned photocopy of answer book of Class XII Board Examinations,” the board said in its release.
The board further clarified that students will now have up to two days after receiving their scanned answer sheets to apply for the next stage, which includes verification of marks or re-evaluation in case they identify discrepancies.
It also reiterated that all previously announced terms and conditions for the process will remain unchanged, and students are advised to make use of the extended timeline to complete their applications within the revised schedule.
