The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) results for Class 12 are expected to be declared by the second week of May. Though the board is yet to announce the date and time, the pattern over the past few years indicates the results are usually announced post-May 10. In both 2024 and 2025, the results were announced on May 13, while in 2023, they were declared on May 12.
The only time the board missed this timeline was the pandemic years of 2021 and 2022, when results were postponed until July due to disruptions in the examination and assessment procedures.

In a major shift aimed at speeding up evaluation and improving transparency, the Board had earlier this year announced On-Screen Marking (OSM) to evaluate Class 12 answer books starting with the 2026 board examinations. The initiative aims to improve transparency and modernise examination procedures.
The board announced the new methodology has helped improve the pace of evaluation and brought about greater precision in assessment.
