The Ministry of Education officials on Friday said over 70 thousand applications have been received through the CBSE post-result grievance redressal process from Class 12th students. The CBSE had opened the online portal for verification of issues observed in scanned copies of answer books and re-evaluation of answers on Tuesday.
“As of June 4, 2026, 70,433 successful applications have been received through the CBSE post-result grievance redressal process, including 7,314 applications for Verification of Marks and 63,119 applications for re-evaluation. Despite a malicious Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack involving nearly 3.8 million packets on June 3, 2026, the portal remained protected and operational due to timely intervention by technical teams,” the Education Ministry said.
Following the declaration of Class 12th results on May 13, a section of students expressed dissatisfaction with marks awarded and questioned the accuracy of evaluation under the On-Screen Marking system (OSM). The Ministry of Education initiated a review of the implementation and procurement aspects of the OSM system, including examination of vendor performance, contractual obligations and quality-control mechanisms.
According to the statement, the portal recorded approximately 1.5 million access requests within two minutes of launch at 4:30 AM on June 2. Detecting several requests as unauthorised access attempts, it blocked over 100,000 requests. It further confirmed that traffic profile showed coordinated high-volume request bursts consistent with DDoS-type patterns, which were thwarted due to intense security arrangements.
As part of the accountability and confidence-building measures, Chairman CBSE Rahul Singh and Secretary CBSE Himanshu Gupta were transferred, and Prashant Lokhande was appointed as the new Chairman of CBSE. On June 2, the Government had ordered an independent inquiry under S. Radha Chauhan, Chairperson, Capacity Building Commission, to examine procurement and implementation-related aspects of the OSM project.
