Former Delhi chief minister and current Delhi assembly LoP, Atishi, has criticised the CBSE reevaluation process, alleging that students are facing difficulties due to limited payment options on the board’s reevaluation portal.In a post on X, Atishi claimed that payments for reevaluation can currently be made only through State Bank of India (SBI), Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda, or Indian Bank.“Another day…Another achievement by @dpradhanbjp… After late start to CBSE reevaluation portal, students now find that payment can ONLY be made via SBI, Canara Bank, Bank of Baroda or Indian Bank.“So if a student or their parents don’t have an account in these banks, they can’t apply for reevaluation! Mismanagement taken to new heights by the PM and his Cabinet”The criticism comes after concerns were also raised about the delayed launch of the CBSE re- evaluation portal amid the OSM tender controversy.The controversy escalated after students began reporting blurred answer sheets, missing pages, mismatched scanned copies and repeated glitches during the reevaluation process.Opposition targets BJP Other opposition leaders Aaditya Thackeray and Kapil Sibal also criticised the central government’s handling of the CBSE controversy following the transfer of the board’s chairman and secretary.Shiv Sena (UBT) leader Thackeray questioned whether transferring the two officials constituted “big action” by the BJP government, calling it inadequate.Senior advocate and Rajya Sabha MP Kapil Sibal, meanwhile, described the episode as a “CBSE fiasco,” alleging that the government was “blaming the small fish and protecting the big fish.”He questioned why the alleged irregularities, including claims surrounding a controversial contract, were not being investigated and asked where agencies such as the CBI and ED were in the matter.CBSE says website is being improvedProviding an update on the CBSE verification and re-evaluation portal, officials said the platform is currently supporting nearly 14,000 concurrent users and had recorded more than 28,000 successful submissions as of 10 p.m.“Based on student feedback, further improvements—including extended session time limits—have been implemented to enhance user experience. Our teams remain on constant watch to ensure a secure, reliable, and student-friendly platform,” it wrote in a post on X.
