The deadline for receiving a scanned photocopy of the Class 12 Board Examination answer book has been extended by one day to this month's 24th by the Central Board of Secondary Education. Previously, tomorrow was the deadline for getting the answer book. The decision was made by CBSE after its website experienced unheard-of traffic over the past few days and multiple attempts at unauthorized interference, making it vulnerable to disruptions. After receiving a scanned copy of their answer book, students will have up to two days to apply for the following step, Verification of Issues Observed or Re-evaluation, according to CBSE. The candidates have been asked by the Board to take advantage of the extended deadline and submit their applications appropriately.
