India's Education Minister also instructed the formation of a team of technical experts and professors from IIT Madras and IIT Kanpur to assist CBSE in "ensuring a glitch-free re-evaluation process."

"The team will examine the overall IT Infrastructure robustness and assist in taking corrective measures to ensure that login authentication, user access systems, payment gateways are accurate and in order," according to a press release by the Indian Ministry of Education.

On May 23, CBSE denied rumours that the process of obtaining answer book photocopies and re-evaluating marks has been cancelled due to "technical issues."

CBSE clarified that no such measure has been taken, and asked the public to access the CBSE official website for verified information.

After students complained of issues both related to the new On-Screen Marking system, and inaccessibility of the CBSE website, the board took some measures:

It announced a full refund for those students whose marks increase after re-evaluation

Reduced fees for obtaining scanned copies, verification of issues, and re-evaluation

Extended the last date for obtaining online scanned copies of answer books to May 24
