CBSE Class 10 scanned answer book 2026 application activity has now moved past both scheduled application stages. The scanned-copy window closed on August 9, while the verification-of-marks and re-evaluation window closed on August 19, 2026.
Candidates who already submitted a valid Stage 2 request should now monitor the same CBSE candidate login for their status and outcome. CBSE says the result of verification and/or re-evaluation will be uploaded there and that no separate individual status communication is promised.
Current status
Both application windows are closed
The official Class 10 schedule gave August 5–9 for obtaining scanned copies and August 16–19 for verification and/or re-evaluation. Those application periods have now passed.
What happens next
Monitor the candidate login
If you submitted a request during the applicable window, check the same CBSE login regularly for the status and outcome rather than submitting another application.
Do not submit through an unofficial route. CBSE’s notice says requests are accepted only through the prescribed online process and within the specified schedule. The published notice does not establish a general late-application or offline route after the deadline.
CBSE Class 10 scanned answer book 2026: current status

Which CBSE Class 10 post-result windows are now closed?
| Stage | Facility | Official dates | Current status |
|---|---|---|---|
| Stage 1 | Scanned copy of evaluated answer book | August 5–9, 2026 | Closed |
| Stage 2 | Verification of marks | August 16–19, 2026 | Closed |
| Stage 2 | Re-evaluation | August 16–19, 2026 | Closed |
| Stage 2 | Verification + re-evaluation | August 16–19, 2026 | Closed |
CBSE’s August 5 notice set the scanned-copy fee at ₹300 per subject, the verification fee at ₹300 per answer book, and the re-evaluation fee at ₹100 per full question, including all sub-parts. These amounts describe the completed 2026 application process; they should not be read as permission to submit a new request after the deadline.
What should candidates who already applied do now?
- Open the official CBSE Post Result Activities portal.
- Use the same candidate login associated with the submitted application.
- Check whether the request status or outcome has been updated.
- Keep the application and payment acknowledgement available.
- If CBSE changes the marks, follow the instructions associated with the revised outcome.
- Do not assume that silence means the application was rejected; rely on the status shown in the official account.
CBSE’s stated process
CBSE says the status and outcome will be uploaded in the same candidate login account. Candidates are instructed to check the CBSE website regularly because no separate individual communication is promised for status updates.
When will CBSE publish the verification or re-evaluation outcome?
The August 5 Class 10 notice does not provide a fixed public outcome date for every candidate.
That means TPS should not invent a result date. The correct next step is to monitor the candidate login and official CBSE post-result portal.
Current reader problem
Before August 19, the useful question was how to apply. After the deadline, the useful question changes to whether a submitted request has been processed and where CBSE will show the outcome.
Can Class 10 marks still increase or decrease?
Yes. For candidates who submitted valid verification or re-evaluation requests, CBSE says revised marks may increase, decrease or remain unchanged.
CBSE specifically says that even a decrease of one mark will be implemented. The result of verification and/or re-evaluation is treated as final under this process.
What if the same subject was taken in both Main and Second Board Exams?
The special Main-versus-Second Examination rule remains important for candidates who already used the process.
CBSE allowed a candidate to obtain scanned copies of both answer books for the same subject. However, verification and/or re-evaluation could be requested for only one of those answer books—either Main or Second Examination.
Once one answer book was selected for Stage 2, CBSE says the other answer book could not later be considered for verification or re-evaluation in that subject.
Can I still apply after the August 19 deadline?
The published Class 10 notice does not establish a general late-application window.
CBSE’s general guidelines state that requests are accepted online only during the specified schedule and that applications after the scheduled date and time are not accepted.
No general extension was identified in this review. If CBSE publishes a new notice, extension or reopening, that newer official instruction would change the answer and this page should be updated.
What should you check if you already received your scanned answer book?
CBSE’s guidance remains useful even though the application period is closed. Candidates reviewing a previously obtained scanned copy should check whether:
- supplementary answer books are included;
- all attempted questions were evaluated;
- marks align with the applicable marking scheme;
- marks were correctly transferred to the cover-page table;
- row and column totals are correct; and
- the final answer-book total matches the marks shown in the result or DigiLocker.
For re-evaluation, CBSE advises students to compare the answer with the relevant question paper and marking scheme and identify the full question involved. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
How this CBSE Class 10 scanned answer book 2026 update was verified
ThePulseSignal rechecked CBSE’s official Post Result Activities portal and the August 5, 2026 Class X notice covering Main and Second Board Examinations.
The official Annexure I confirms that scanned-copy applications ran from August 5 to August 9 and that verification and/or re-evaluation applications ran from August 16 to August 19. The portal continues to identify the 2026 Class X photocopy, verification and re-evaluation workflow and states the core eligibility rules.
The review found no new official notice establishing a general extension beyond the published August 19 Stage 2 deadline.
Last verified: August 20, 2026.

- TPS cannot determine whether an individual request has been accepted, processed or resulted in a marks change.
- No general deadline extension was identified in the official material reviewed.
- CBSE can issue a later notice or portal update that changes the current status.
