CBSE Class 12 Result 2026: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has issued an official message to Class 12 board students, acknowledging the growing anxiety among students regarding their results and marks, particularly linked to the re-introduction of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) mechanism this year.
The CBSE stated that it has observed social media posts indicating that many Class 12 students are anxious about their results and marks, attributing their concerns to the change in the assessment scheme. The board emphasised that it is "extremely sensitive" to these concerns and is fully committed to addressing them accordingly.

So you want to kill us cbse?
Another user on X stated that thousands of students are in a state of panic, they need accountability on fresh results, and re-evaluation.
If your marking system was actually "uniform," thousands of us wouldn't be collectively panicking right now. Stop trying to protect your reputation, scrap these botched results, and prepare a real one. We're ready to wait for justice.The reevaluation must be and free of cost

Students have also expressed their anger questioning the move to test the digital scheme on Class 12 students without proper training.
CBSC are you serious, this is your 4th message and it has no indication of our demands we don't want you consolidation . The main issue is of your OSM that you introduced and used class 12 student as a test subject for it and use teacher without any proper training.We want rights

The amount of mental breakdown that your negligence and improper implementation and testing of your so called OSM system has caused to the students cannot be ignored and strict action should be taken against careless examiners and the culprits
CBSE 12th candidates have further expressed their frustration over the cost of re-evaluation. They have also demanded a manual process for the re-checking of the answer sheets.
