The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) revealed that its Class 12 re-evaluation portal was targeted by multiple cyberattack attempts shortly after it was opened for students on Tuesday. Despite the attacks and intermittent technical issues reported by users, the board said the platform remained operational and continued processing applications.
According to CBSE, the portal has been active since 4 a.m. and is currently accommodating over 8,000 users simultaneously. By 3 p.m., more than 16,000 students had successfully submitted requests for verification of marks and answer-sheet re-evaluation.
The board disclosed that cybercriminals launched several disruptive attempts, including a denial-of-service (DoS) attack that generated nearly 1.5 million hits within just two minutes. In addition, over one lakh unauthorized file-access attempts were detected during the same period.
CBSE stated that its technical teams effectively countered the attacks, ensuring that students could continue using the portal with minimal disruption. The board also introduced improvements based on student feedback, including extending session time limits to make the application process smoother and more user-friendly.
Officials confirmed that monitoring efforts have been intensified, with cybersecurity teams remaining vigilant to protect the system and ensure uninterrupted access to post-result services.
The re-evaluation portal enables Class 12 students to apply for mark verification and answer-sheet re-evaluation after obtaining copies of their evaluated scripts. The process has drawn significant attention this year amid increased scrutiny of the board’s assessment and post-result procedures.
