CBSE Class 12 Evaluation Process 2026 : The Central Board of Secondary Education has announced an important change in the evaluation process for Class 12 board examinations. The assessment process for Class 12 board examinations will change because the Central Board of Secondary Education will start using digital assessment methods which will begin in 2026. Class 12 answer copies will now be checked through digital methods which use scanned answer sheets instead of physical examination.
What on screen marking means
On screen marking is a digital method of checking exam answer sheets. The process of digitizing answer copies starts after students finish their Class 12 board exams when answer copies are scanned to create digital records. The scanned copies will be transferred to a protected CBSE database system. The system allows teachers and examiners to assess answers by logging in to their computers for direct evaluation.
• Collecting answer sheets from students after they finish their examinations
• Answer sheet scanning takes place at authorized locations in the next step
• The next step involves uploading the digital answer sheets to the internet
• Examiners will review student answers on their screens
• The system will allow examiners to enter student scores through direct input
Digital processes eliminate the risk of losing answer sheets because everything exists in electronic format.
The Central Board of Secondary Education introduced this system to enhance the entire assessment process. Manual checking requires extensive documentation which leads to the movement of answer sheets and creates opportunities for people to make mistakes. The implementation of on screen marking will create a more efficient and dependable assessment system.
The main reasons behind this decision are:
• Faster checking of answer sheets
• Reduced calculation and totalling errors
• Better transparency in evaluation
• Less dependence on physical logistics
• Use of modern technology in examinations
Students who will take Class 12 board exams in 2026 will receive multiple benefits from this examination transformation.
• Evaluation may be completed faster
• Results can be declared earlier
• The system reduces the possibility of marking mistakes
• The examination system now provides uniform checking methods for all evaluators
The only change occurring involves the method used for checking exams. The exam pattern, syllabus, and question paper format will remain the same.
Benefits for teachers and examiners
Teachers who participate in assessment work will gain from the new evaluation method which offers them the following advantages:
• They no longer need to travel to faraway evaluation centers
• The evaluation process now operates through a simplified system which streamlines assessment activities
• The digital tools provide teachers with precise marking capabilities
• Evaluated answers can be tracked through the system which enables classroom supervision
CBSE will provide teachers with training for using the on screen marking system to which they need to become competent for use.
What schools need to do
Schools must complete teacher data updates for senior classes according to CBSE requirements. Schools must maintain basic technical standards which include providing computers and internet access to teachers who evaluate student work.
Why this change is important
The implementation of on screen marking system serves as a significant modernization initiative for the evaluation system used in board exams. The system operates through digital methods which all countries require for their assessment processes to achieve efficient evaluation procedures.
The examination process for Class 12 students who will take exams in 2026 and beyond will continue through traditional writing methods while digital answer sheet inspections will enable the system to provide precise and efficient evaluation results.
