This year, the results got delayed primarily because of below mentioned reasons:

- Assembly elections being held in various parts of the country.

Reasons for this sudden change in system:
- It has been seen that since 2014, re-evaluation of answer sheets was done in around 10 subjects for class 12 examinations, said CBSE senior officials
- But some system will be there to address genuine cases
- As per reports, the actual number of students who applied for re-evaluation was only.
Meanwhile, as reported by TOI, the Delhi High Court on Friday orally observed that the CBSE should not have done away with its re-evaluation policy as it also make mistakes in evaluation of answer sheets.
Here’s what Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said:
“You (CBSE) should not have done that. You too make mistakes,” Justice Sanjeev Sachdeva said in recent TOI report.
“Careers of 2100 students are at stake”. “We all know what happens on a fraction of a mark or percentage,” the court added.
According to reports, the court made this statement while hearing a plea of students asking for re-evaluation of English and Maths answer sheets.
CBSE in its defense:
- While responding to the Justice, the lawyer on behalf of CBSE said, the re-evaluation policy was scrapped as there were only 0.21 per cent mistakes out of the 10 lakh students who undertake the board exams across the country
- Meanwhile, the CBSE lawyer said re-verification has been carried out and there is no change in student’s mark
- Further, the lawyer said the result of re-verification would be uploaded on its website soon
As of now, the court has not passed any order on the student’s plea for re-evaluation.
