“A candidate, after obtaining the photocopy of the evaluated answer book in the first step, can decide whether to opt for verification of marks (which includes checking totals or unevaluated questions) or re-evaluation of one or more questions,” CBSE stated. Students can choose either or both options following the proper procedure after receiving their photocopies.
The board added that detailed instructions on how to request photocopies, verification, and re-evaluation will be provided after the announcement of the Class 10 and Class 12 results.
