A scanned answer book is the evaluated copy of your board paper. It helps you see how answers were checked before deciding whether a question should be taken further.
This page explains the purpose of the scanned copy. For current dates or extensions, check the latest CBSE notice linked below.
Who Should Consider Requesting It
- Students whose expected marks and final marks have a serious gap.
- Students whose teacher feels a specific answer may need review.
- Students who need clarity before deciding whether re-evaluation is worth the fee and effort.
Who May Not Need It
- Students who are only mildly curious but do not plan any further action.
- Students whose admission path will not change even after a small marks difference.
- Students who have not discussed the marks concern with a teacher or school mentor.
What To Keep Ready
- Board roll number, admit card and school details.
- Payment method for the official CBSE portal.
- A folder to save the downloaded scanned copy, receipt and any later communication.
Mistakes To Avoid

- Missing the next step deadline after receiving the scanned copy.
- Sharing your scanned answer book publicly with roll number or personal details visible.
