The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has once again extended the deadline for students to request scanned copies of their answer books. The new deadline is now May 25, midnight. This marks the third extension, following previous deadlines of May 22, May 23, and May 24.
Reason for Extension
According to an official statement, the extension comes in response to numerous complaints from students who faced technical difficulties while accessing the portal. Many students reported that the website was slow or unresponsive, preventing them from submitting their requests on time.
How to Apply
Students can apply for scanned answer books through the official CBSE website. The process requires logging in with credentials, selecting the examination, and submitting the request. The scanned copies are typically provided within a few weeks for verification purposes.
Previous Extensions
The CBSE initially set the deadline for May 22 but extended it to May 23 after receiving feedback. However, due to persistent issues, the board further pushed the date to May 24. Now, with the latest extension, students have until May 25 midnight to submit their requests.
Student Reactions
Many students have welcomed the extension, citing that the extra time allows them to complete the process without rush. However, some have called for a more robust system to avoid such glitches in the future. The CBSE has assured that it is working on improving the portal's performance.
The board has also advised students to keep their login details handy and to check the website regularly for updates. For any technical assistance, students can contact the CBSE helpline.
