The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has stated that its re-evaluation and marks verification portal remained fully functional despite being subjected to multiple cyberattack attempts on the opening day of the application process. According to the board, the portal went live on schedule and continued to operate smoothly from 7 am onward.

CBSE officials said the platform was targeted through multiple Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack attempts as thousands of students simultaneously logged in to apply for verification of marks and re-evaluation of answer sheets.

Despite the surge in traffic and malicious activity, the board said its technical teams worked to keep the portal operational.

More than 16,000 students reportedly submitted applications through the portal on the first day, adding heavy load to the system.

Revaluation process continues

Despite the cyber threats, CBSE said the revaluation and verification process for Class 12 students will continue as scheduled.

The board has urged students to use only official channels while accessing the portal and to report any technical issues immediately through designated support mechanisms.

The latest incident has once again highlighted the cybersecurity challenges facing large-scale educational platforms as examination bodies increasingly shift critical processes online.
