The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is releasing the Class 12 verification and re-evaluation results in phases. Amid the ongoing process, students who applied for re-evaluation are now waiting for clarity on when they will receive their fee refunds.

The board has assured students that the re-evaluation fee will be refunded if there is an increase in marks after the re-evaluation process. However, the exact timeline for issuing the refunds has been a concern among candidates.

In a detailed guideline issued on June 21, CBSE stated that the verification and re-evaluation fee will be refunded to the source account in cases where there is an increase in marks after the re-evaluation result is declared.

Responding to queries regarding excess or duplicate payments made by candidates, the board clarified that such amounts, if applicable, will also be refunded to the original source account.

CBSE further informed that the results of around 87% of candidates who applied for re-evaluation and/or verification of issues observed have already been declared. The remaining results will be released in phases, and the entire process is expected to be completed soon.
