JKBOSE Re-Evaluation & Photostat Copy 2026 – Overview
Students after the declaration of JKBOSE results often feel that their performance in the exam was better than the marks they received. In such cases, the board offers two important post-result facilities:
- Re-evaluation (Rechecking of answer script)
- Photostat/Xerox copy of answer script
These services help maintain transparency in evaluation and provide students a fair chance to get their marks reviewed.
What is JKBOSE Re-evaluation?
Re-evaluation is a process where JKBOSE rechecks an answer script for possible errors in evaluation. During re-evaluation, the board ensures that:
- All answers have been evaluated properly
- No question has been left unchecked
- Marks have been totaled correctly
- Marks have been transferred properly to the result sheet
It is important to understand that re-evaluation does not mean re-writing the paper or re-exam, it is simply a verification of the marks already awarded.
✅ Who should apply for re-evaluation?
Students can consider applying for re-evaluation if:
- They expected significantly higher marks
- Their marks do not match their confidence level after exam
- They believe some answers may have been unchecked
- Their total seems incorrect
What is JKBOSE Photostat / Xerox Copy of Answer Script?
JKBOSE also provides students the option to obtain a photostat (xerox) copy of their evaluated answer sheet. This helps students to:
- See how marks were awarded
- Check for unmarked answers
- Verify the evaluation pattern
- Identify mistakes for future exams
- Decide whether re-evaluation is needed
Photostat copy is also useful for students preparing for competitive exams, as it allows them to understand their exam-writing pattern and areas of improvement.
JKBOSE Re-evaluation vs Photostat Copy – Key Difference
Many students get confused between these two. Here is a simple explanation:
🔹 Re-evaluation
- JKBOSE rechecks the paper
- Totals and unchecked answers are verified
- Marks may increase or remain the same
🔹 Photostat (Xerox Copy)
- Student receives a copy of the evaluated answer sheet
- Helps students review their own paper
- Marks are not changed automatically
👉 Ideally, students can first apply for the photostat copy, check their paper, and then decide if re-evaluation is required.
