The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has once again extended the deadline for obtaining scanned photocopies of answer books for Class XII Board Examinations 2026. The decision comes after the official CBSE website faced unprecedented traffic and multiple attempts of unauthorised interference, causing disruptions in services.
In order to ensure that no student is left behind during the application process, the Board has revised the last date for applying for scanned answer books.
| Previous Last Date Mentioned | 23.05.2026 |
| Extended Last Date | 24.05.2026 |
CBSE has also informed students that they will get up to two days after receiving the scanned copy of their answer book to apply for the next stage, including Verification of Issues Observed and Re-evaluation.
Candidates are advised to utilise the extended timeline carefully and complete the application process within the revised deadline. The Board clarified that all other terms and conditions mentioned earlier will remain unchanged.
