‘Exams khatam, tension nahi’: How CBSE reevaluation, blurred sheets and tech glitches created endless trouble for students this year

Even after the declaration of board exam results, many students and parents say the stress did not end. Instead, fresh anxiety emerged during the CBSE answer sheet access and re-evaluation process, where several students reported technical glitches, payment failures and confusion on the official portal.

From unexpected fee amounts to blurred answer sheets and login troubles, complaints surfaced across social media as students tried to apply for photocopies and re-checking of marks within the limited deadline window.

Payment errors trigger panic among students

Several students claimed they faced serious issues while making payments for answer sheet services. Screenshots shared online showed unusually high amounts appearing during the application process.

In one case, a student reportedly saw the fee crossing Rs 69,000, while another claimed the amount for a few answer sheets rose into lakhs instead of a few hundred rupees. CBSE later admitted that technical problems had affected the system and assured users that refunds would be processed.
