Supreme Court refuses to reopen CBSE re-evaluation portal

The Supreme Court has declined to direct the reopening of the CBSE Class 12 re-evaluation portal, which was set up for students to challenge results under the new On-Screen Marking (OSM) system. A Bench led by Chief Justice Surya Kant said the portal was open for a fixed period and reopening it could trigger hundreds of thousands of fresh claims. "If you don't use the bus, you miss the bus," the CJI remarked.
The petition alleged that OSM was introduced this year without adequate teacher training, and that technical glitches such as unreadable scans, skipped answers, and incomplete page uploads may have unfairly reduced students' marks. The court did not rule on these allegations but held that the deadline could not be extended. Students who filed for re-evaluation within the window remain unaffected, those who missed it will not get another chance through this plea.
Indian Opinion Analysis
Both ndtv.com and timesnownews.com report the same outcome neutrally, but their emphasis differs. ndtv.com leads with the court's refusal and the missed-bus analogy, foregrounding the finality of deadlines. timesnownews.com leads with the OSM grievances and devotes more space to the alleged scanning errors and lack of training. The difference is framing: ndtv.com treats the petition as a missed procedural chance, while timesnownews.com treats it as a substantive complaint about digital evaluation that the court did not address. The common thread is that the CBSE re-evaluation window is closed for good, unless a new petition challenges the OSM system itself. The CBSE will now process the requests already filed within the window.
