Paper Checking Delay — What’s Happening?
- This year, evaluation started slightly later than usual, mainly due to scheduling adjustments in exams.
- In some regions, there were minor logistical delays (like answer sheet transportation and examiner allocation).
- CBSE is also continuing its digital/on-screen marking system, which improves accuracy but can take extra time in the initial phases.
- Despite this, officials say checking is now in the final stage, and there is no major delay expected beyond May.
👉 In short: there was a small delay, but nothing serious enough to push results beyond the usual timeline.
