With the ISC Class 12 Results 2026 now officially declared, the focus has shifted to the post-result scrutiny process. For the 2026 academic cycle, the council has established a structured two-tier system for students who believe their performance wasn't accurately reflected. The ISC re-evaluation fee is set at Rs 1,500 per subject, marking a significant step for students aiming for a secondary review of their answer scripts.
It is vital to distinguish between a 'Recheck' and a 'Re-evaluation' to avoid application errors.
Rechecking Fee: Rs 1,000 per subject (Focuses on totaling errors and unchecked answers).
Re-evaluation Fee: Rs 1,500 per subject (A comprehensive fresh assessment of the script).
Pre-requisite: Only students who have applied for a 'Recheck' and received their recheck result are eligible to apply for 'Re-evaluation'.
Refund Policy: All fees paid for these services are non-refundable, irrespective of whether the marks change.
The process is entirely digital. Follow these steps to ensure your request is processed:
Phase 1: The Recheck Request
Students must apply for a recheck within 4 days of the result declaration. This is the mandatory first step and costs Rs 1,000 per subject.
Phase 2: The Re-evaluation Request
Once the recheck result is published, a very narrow 24 to 72-hour window opens for Re-evaluation. You must act quickly as the portal closes automatically.
Phase 3: Fee Payment
Log in to the official service portal using your unique ID and index number. Select the subject(s) you wish to challenge and pay the Rs 1,500 fee per paper via the online payment gateway.
Critical Update: Any marks awarded during the re-evaluation process—even if they are lower than the original score—will be treated as the final and official grade.

Q1: Can I skip the recheck and apply directly for re-evaluation?
No. The 2026 guidelines mandate that a re-evaluation request is only valid for those who have already completed the recheck process for that specific subject.
Q2: Is the Rs 1,500 fee refundable if my marks increase significantly?
No. The fee is a processing charge and is non-refundable under all circumstances, including cases where errors are found and marks are increased.
Q3: How many subjects can I submit for re-evaluation?
You can apply for any number of subjects, provided you have paid for and completed the recheck stage for each of those subjects.
Q4: Will I receive a new physical marksheet?
Yes. If the re-evaluation results in a change of marks, a revised marksheet will be issued through your respective school. You will be required to return the original marksheet first.
Q5: Is there a difference between Re-evaluation and the Improvement Exam?
Yes. Re-evaluation is a review of your existing answer sheet. The Improvement Exam allows you to re-sit the paper to attempt a better score. For 2026, students can appear for up to three subjects in the Improvement category.
