No verification of marks after Class 12 results from 2026, says CBSE as board shifts to fully digital evaluation

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced that from 2026, there will be no post-result verification of marks for Class 12, as it rolls out on-screen marking (OSM). The reform, explained by Controller of Examinations Dr. Sanyam Bhardwaj during a nationwide webcast, aims to eliminate totalling errors, speed up evaluation, and improve accuracy. With over 18.5 lakh students, CBSE says digitisation will ensure cleaner, faster, and more transparent assessment.
