Baccalaureate Appeals 2026: How students can view their papers before requesting a re-evaluation

Students in Romania who are dissatisfied with their Baccalaureate exam results can now view their papers before lodging an appeal. The Ministry of Education has outlined a procedure allowing candidates to see their graded work following the publication of written exam results for the June-July session on Tuesday, July 7.

The appeals process, detailed in the exam calendar, begins on July 7 with specific time slots for viewing and submitting appeals. From 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM, students can submit requests to view their papers. Between 5:00 PM and 6:00 PM on the same day, viewing and the initial submission of appeals will take place. The process continues on July 8 and 9, from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, with each examination center setting its own schedule.

Candidates must complete and sign a standardized appeal form, along with a declaration. This declaration confirms their understanding that the final grade is subject to change – potentially increasing or decreasing – following a re-evaluation. The re-evaluation is conducted by a separate committee of teachers, and the resulting grade becomes final and cannot be appealed further.

It is crucial for students to be aware of the risk involved. While an appeal could lead to a higher grade, there is also a possibility of the grade being lowered. Therefore, the ministry advises students to carefully review their papers during the viewing period to assess the potential for a grade improvement before submitting an appeal. Minors may be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian during the viewing.
