Fake circular flagged on social media
The forged notice, dated May 23, 2026, wrongly stated that the board had scrapped the process due to “unprecedented technical challenges” in its online system. CBSE clarified that the document is fake and urged students and parents to rely only on official communication channels.
Board urges caution amid misinformation
CBSE warned students against believing rumours circulating online, stating that all updates related to results and post-result processes are available only on its official website and verified platforms.
The board also reassured stakeholders that every genuine concern regarding scanned answer sheets and re-evaluation will be addressed through the prescribed review mechanism.
Technical surge after results triggers delays
CBSE said its portal faced heavy traffic after the release of results, as lakhs of students accessed the system simultaneously to request scanned answer sheets and verification services. This led to temporary slowdowns, payment delays, and issues in accessing downloaded copies.
Deadlines extended, systems strengthened
To ease the pressure, CBSE has extended the last date for applying for scanned answer books to May 24, 2026, and said the system has been strengthened to handle high demand.
The board reiterated its commitment to transparency, fairness, and protecting students’ academic interests, adding that all valid grievances will be reviewed by subject experts through the official process.
