The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reported that its Class 12 revaluation and verification portal recorded over 28,000 successful submissions, despite facing disruptions and a claimed cyberattack. The board addressed concerns regarding data security and assured students that their information remains safe.
Portal Performance Amid Disruptions
CBSE stated that the portal functioned smoothly for the majority of users, with more than 28,000 students successfully submitting their applications for revaluation or verification of marks. The board acknowledged that some users experienced technical glitches, which were promptly resolved by the technical team. The disruptions were attributed to high traffic and an attempted cyberattack, which was neutralized without compromising data integrity.
Cyberattack Claim and Response
Earlier, a group claiming responsibility for a cyberattack on the CBSE portal had surfaced. However, CBSE officials confirmed that no data breach occurred. The board's cybersecurity protocols successfully thwarted the attack, and all student data remains encrypted and secure. CBSE has also lodged a complaint with the cybercrime department to investigate the incident.
Extended Deadlines and Student Support
To accommodate students affected by the portal issues, CBSE extended the deadline for revaluation applications. The board also set up a helpline and email support to assist students facing difficulties. Officials urged students to use the official website and avoid third-party platforms to prevent fraud.
Process and Fees
The revaluation process allows students to request rechecking of answer sheets or verification of marks. Fees vary based on the number of subjects. Successful applicants will receive revised mark sheets within a few weeks. CBSE has advised students to keep a copy of their application for future reference.
In conclusion, CBSE assures that despite the challenges, the revaluation process is on track, and students' interests are safeguarded. The board continues to monitor the portal and enhance security measures to prevent future incidents.
