The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely to announce the 2026 Class 10 results by mid-April. The Class 12 results are expected to follow later. The move is seen as a response to the second set of Class 10 exams scheduled in May. There has been no official word from the board on the exact dates. In 2025, results for both Class 10 and 12 were released on May 13.
Once the CBSE Class 10 results are declared, candidates can check their scores on official websites such as results.nic.in and cbse.gov.in. The DigiLocker platform will also host digital versions of the documents.
Students will have to provide key credentials, including their roll number, school number, date of birth and admit card ID. Once accessed, the marksheet may be downloaded and printed for use.
