The verification and re-evaluation window opened on June 2 and will remain available until June 6 through CBSE’s online portal.
Students must pay ₹100 per subject for verification and ₹25 per question for re-evaluation, with Aadhaar-based authentication introduced this year for added security.
The process comes amid scrutiny of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system.
The government transferred CBSE Chairman Rahul Singh and Secretary Himanshu Gupta earlier this week following concerns over the digital evaluation process.
The government has also appointed a committee headed by S Radha Chauhan to review the implementation of OSM services and submit a report within a month.
The controversy has centred on complaints of answer-sheet mix-ups, marking discrepancies and grading errors.
The issue also gained national attention after Class 12 student Sarthak Sidhant presented his observations on the OSM system before a parliamentary panel on education, where committee members reportedly appreciated his inputs.
