CBSE re-evaluation: check your answer sheet before you apply
After CBSE results, you can ask the board for a photocopy of your evaluated answer book, for verification of marks, and for re-evaluation of specific questions. Re-evaluation is requested and paid for question by question, so the real decision is which questions to challenge.
Proctor AI gives you a second opinion on that. It reads your handwritten answers, marks each one against the CBSE marking scheme step by step, and shows its marks with reasons, so you can compare them with what the examiner gave.
What CBSE lets you do after results
- Apply for a photocopy of your evaluated answer book in the subjects you are unsure about.
- Apply for verification of marks, which checks totalling, marks carried to the cover page and answers left unmarked.
- Apply for re-evaluation of the specific questions where you believe the marking does not follow the scheme.
The order of these steps, the dates and the fee for each one are set in the circular CBSE issues after results, and they have changed between years. Read this year's circular on cbse.gov.in before you apply. The window is short.
How to get a second opinion with Proctor AI
- Upload your answer sheet copy: Photos or one PDF of the evaluated answer book the board gave you. Every page, in order if you can.
- Add the question paper and marking scheme: Attach the question paper. If the board has published a marking scheme or model answers, add that too, so the marking follows the same scheme your examiner used.
- Read the question-by-question report: You get the marks Proctor AI would give each answer and the reason. Put them beside the examiner's marks on your copy. The biggest gaps are the questions to look at first.
What the second marking can show you
| What to look for | How the report helps |
|---|---|
| An answer that got fewer marks than the scheme allows | Marks each step and point against the scheme and shows which ones earned credit |
| An answer or a part that was not marked at all | Every answer on every page is read and given its own line in the report |
| Marks that do not add up to the total on the cover | Gives you its own total per question, so you can add the examiner's marks and compare |
| A correct method that lost everything for a small slip | Gives partial credit for method, the way step marking is meant to work |
| Answers written out of order or continued on a later page | Matches each answer to its question, wherever it sits in the booklet |
Frequently asked questions
Where do I get the CBSE marking scheme?
CBSE publishes the marking scheme for each board paper on its academic website after the exam. Attach the scheme for your paper and set, so the second marking follows the same value points your examiner had.
Should I check my copy before applying for CBSE re-evaluation?
It helps, because re-evaluation is requested per question. A question-by-question second marking shows where the gap between the scheme and your marks is largest, which is where a challenge is most likely to be worth it.
Will this increase my marks?
No tool can promise that. Proctor AI marks your answers again and shows where its marks differ from the examiner's. Only the board can change a result, and its re-evaluation can lower marks as well as raise them. The report helps you decide which questions, if any, are worth challenging.
Is it free?
Yes, to start. The free plan gives 10 AI gradings a month. Checking a paper uses one grading for the answer sheet and a little for reading each page of the question paper, so a typical paper uses 2 to 3, which is 3 to 4 full papers a month. You need a free account so your papers stay private to you.
Is my answer sheet kept private?
Yes. Your uploads are visible only in your account, are encrypted in transit and at rest, and are not used to train AI. You can delete them at any time.
How accurate is the marking?
On clear handwriting it agrees with a human examiner on most answers, and it says so when it is unsure of a word or a mark. It is weakest on very untidy writing and faint scans, so photograph the pages in good light.
