The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely to announce the results for the Class 10 Board Examination 2026 (Session 1) at any time now, potentially today or tomorrow. This early announcement is expected due to the upcoming second phase of board exams slated to commence on May 15.
Although the board hasn't officially verified the result date, signs indicate that the unveiling is just around the corner. Digi Locker recently informed students through a post on X not to postpone preparing for result day and to establish their accounts ahead of time.
The DigiLocker post said, "CBSE Class 10 results are coming soon. Don't wait till results day – set up your DigiLocker account now and stay ready. Students without an APAAR ID need to create their account. Students with an APAAR ID linked to CBSE will receive their mark sheets in Digi Locker's 'Issued Documents' section."

Minimum passing marks
To succeed in the CBSE Class 10 exams, students must hit a cumulative score of at least 33% across every subject. This passing criterion is uniformly applicable to all students. More precisely, students need to reach this 33% in each individual subject, considering the marks earned in both the external assessment and internal evaluations/practical tests.
Previous year total passing percentage
The CBSE Class 10 results from the last academic year, 2025, indicated an overall pass percentage of 93.66% from the 2,371,939 candidates who took the examination. Girls attained a pass percentage of 95.00%, surpassing the boys' pass percentage of 92.63%, thus continuing the trend of female students excelling beyond their male peers.
