The CBSE said its technical teams were able to maintain the portal’s operations despite the attacks and ensure that students continued to access the services without major disruptions.

“Based on student feedback, we have further refined the platform, including extending session time limits to make the process more convenient and seamless,” the board said in a statement.

The CBSE added that its teams remain on high alert and are continuously monitoring the system to safeguard the platform and facilitate students using the post-result services.

The re-evaluation portal gives Class 12 students an opportunity to apply for verification of marks and re-evaluation of answer sheets after obtaining copies of their evaluated scripts. The process assumes significance this year amid heightened scrutiny of the board’s evaluation and post-result mechanisms.
