Students who have complaints about their scores can log into the CBSE website and register their complaints online using their registration number, school number and centre number.

“They can fill in their particulars and deposit the fee in the form of a demand draft, after which the request will be processed,” said A.S. Verma, regional officer of CBSE, Bhubaneswar.

Last year, around 2,500 students had applied for re-evaluation. Verma said the CBSE has, for the first time, introduced digitised marking for Class X board students. The on-screen marking, said officials, would lead to an error-free evaluation. The biggest benefit of the online marking will be in terms of totalling, he said.

The CBSE Class XII results will be announced next week, he said.
