State board revaluation: check your answer sheet copy first
Most state boards let you ask for a photocopy or scanned copy of your evaluated answer sheet after results, and then apply for retotalling or revaluation. Maharashtra (SSC and HSC), Karnataka (SSLC and PUC), Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh and Telangana all run a version of this, each with its own name for it.
Once you have the copy, Proctor AI marks it again. It reads handwriting in English and in Indian languages, marks each answer against the scheme you attach, and gives you its marks with reasons so you can compare them with the examiner's.
How it usually works with a state board
- Apply for the photocopy or scanned copy of your answer sheet in the subjects you doubt. Many boards ask for this before they accept a revaluation request.
- Check the copy for retotalling errors and unmarked answers. Recounting or retotalling covers these.
- Apply for revaluation or reverification if you believe the marking itself is wrong.
Names, fees and dates differ from board to board and year to year, and some boards allow only retotalling. Follow the notice on your own board's website, and apply early: the windows are often a week or less.
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
Can it read answers written in Kannada, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam or Hindi?
Yes. Proctor AI reads handwritten answers in these scripts as well as English, and marks them against the scheme you attach in the same language.
My board gave a scanned PDF. Can I upload that?
Yes. Upload the PDF as it is, up to 20 pages a paper. If it is longer, split it by section.
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.
