TN 12th Revaluation and Retotalling 2026 – Complete Process
For students who believe their Tamil Nadu HSC Result 2026 marks do not accurately reflect their performance, DGE Tamil Nadu offers a transparent TN 12th Revaluation 2026 and TN 12th Retotalling 2026 process. It is mandatory to follow the steps in the correct order.
Step 1: Apply for Scanned Copy of Answer Script
Before applying for revaluation, students must first request a scanned copy of their answer script. This window is open from May 12 to May 16, 2026 at dge.tn.gov.in. The fee for the scanned copy is ₹275 per script. Skipping this step makes students ineligible to apply for revaluation.
Step 2: Review Your Answer Script
Once you receive the scanned copy, review it carefully. Identify any questions where answers were correct but marks were not awarded, or where totalling appears incorrect.
Step 3: Apply for Revaluation or Retotalling
Based on your review, apply for TN 12th Revaluation 2026 (if answers need fresh evaluation) or TN 12th Retotalling 2026 (if you believe marks were added incorrectly) between June 5 and June 8, 2026 at dge.tn.gov.in.
| Process | What It Does | Window | Fee |
|---|---|---|---|
| Scanned Answer Script | You get a copy of your answer sheet to review | May 12 – 16, 2026 | ₹275/script |
| Revaluation | Fresh evaluation by a senior examiner | June 5 – 8, 2026 | ₹505/subject |
| Retotalling (single paper) | Verification of marks awarded and total | June 5 – 8, 2026 | ₹205/subject |
