CBSE 12th Result 2026: Re-Evaluation Dates Out, OSM Defended, Apply Online

In response, CBSE has firmly defended the OSM system. The Board said it's designed to ensure fairness, transparency, and consistency in evaluation. At the same time, CBSE has asked students who aren't satisfied with their scores to apply for re-evaluation through the official process.
