The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has declared an official notification regarding the verification of scanned images of OMR answer sheets, recorded responses and answer key.

How to challenge the recorded responses :

As per the notice, there is a provision for the candidates to challenge the recorded responses if these differ from the ones they had marked on the OMR sheet. The challenge of scanned images of OMR answer sheets and answer key will be accepted online only, through the link available on the website cbsenet.nic.in from 12/12/2017 to 18/12/2017 (11.59 PM).

Fee required for challenging the answer :

• The challenges submitted by post or in person will not be accepted. The prescribed fee of Rs 1,000 per recorded response challenged will be required to be submitted through credit/debit card only upto December 18 up to 11:59 pm
• The fee is non refundable.

Recorded response is not similar to OMR sheet :

"If the challenge is accepted by the board i.e. if the recorded response is not the same as marked by the candidate on OMR sheet, correction will be done and the fee will be refunded. In case, any registered candidate does not submit the challenge by the prescribed date and time, it will be presumed that his/her recorded response is the same as marked on OMR sheet," the notice stated.

Mistake noticed by the subject experts :

The CBSE notice also said, "Similarly, if the challenge is accepted by the Board i.e. if any mistake is noticed by the subject experts in the answer key, a policy decision will be notified on the website and the fee shall be refunded. The refund (if any) will be transferred online to the concerned credit/debit card account so, the candidates are advised to pay from their own credit/debit card."
