The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has received security clearance from an IIT-led panel for its new examiner-facing re-evaluation portal, developed after discontinuing the Coempt EduTeck platform due to multiple security vulnerabilities. The re-evaluation process proceeded with enhanced cybersecurity measures and continuous monitoring. Over 1.6 lakh students submitted requests for verification and re-evaluation of more than 3.8 lakh answer books during the fully functional application window from June 2 to June 7. CBSE addressed concerns about portal access errors, clarifying they occurred when candidates had not applied during the initial photocopy request phase. The board continues to manage grievances and improve transparency amid ongoing scrutiny of the On-Screen Marking system and evaluation irregularities, especially in subjects like Physics.
