New Delhi, 15, December, 2021: For the first time, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has decided to give free access to the candidates for their answer scripts. Until 2019, candidates who claimed that their answer sheets were not properly evaluated had to go through a two-step process to obtain the photocopies of their answer scripts, which came at an added cost. Moreover, if a candidate wanted to apply for re-evaluation, it involved a third step and payment of a fee.ย

CBSE Term-1 Answer Sheets 2021- Reason for free accessย
CBSEโs decision to give free access to answer sheets is taken to make the sheet checking process more transparent and give candidates a chance to assess their performance. Also, candidates can approach the board in case of any grievances or doubts regarding the answer sheet.ย ย
