Mumbai, May 14: The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has officially announced the results for the Class 12 annual examinations for the academic session 2025-26. Millions of students across the country, who have been eagerly awaiting their results for the past few months, can now check their scorecards on the board’s official website.
This year, CBSE not only released the results on time but also significantly improved its technical facilities to ensure that students can access their results without any hassle, even during high traffic periods. Whether students belong to the Science, Commerce, or Arts streams, they can now verify their success using their roll numbers.
How to Check Results: Step-by-Step Process
For those downloading their digital scorecards for the first time, here are the simple steps to follow:
- Visit the Official Portal: Log on to the CBSE main results website at results.cbse.nic.in.
- Select the Link: Click on the link titled “CBSE Class XII Result 2026” available on the homepage.
- Enter Credentials: A login window will appear. Fill in your roll number, school number, and admit card ID (as mentioned on your admit card).
- Submit: After entering the information, click the ‘Submit’ button.
- Download Scorecard: Your result will be displayed on the screen, including subject-wise marks, total percentage, and grading information. Don’t forget to take a printout for future reference.
Alternative Methods: DigiLocker and UMANG App
Due to heavy traffic, the main website may slow down at times. In such cases, students can use alternative methods:
- DigiLocker: The Indian government’s platform where CBSE uploads students’ ‘Digital Migration Certificates’ and ‘Passing Certificates’. Students can log in using their Aadhaar number and registered mobile number to access their results.
- SMS Service: To view results without internet access, students can send a message in a specified format (e.g., cbse12
) to the number issued by the board. - UMANG App: This app also allows students to view their results directly on their mobile devices.
This Year’s Pass Percentage and Trends
A notable trend was observed in the 2026 board examinations, with female students outperforming their male counterparts in several areas. This year, the board emphasized ‘Competency-based Assessment’ over rote learning, positively impacting students’ logical skills and scores.
Re-evaluation and Compartment Exams
Students dissatisfied with their marks can apply for marks verification and re-evaluation within a few days of the results being declared. Additionally, for those who did not pass in one or two subjects, the board will conduct supplementary or compartment exams in July to ensure their academic year is not adversely affected.
Next Steps for Career
With the announcement of the Class 12 results, various avenues for higher education are now open to students. The admission process for prestigious universities through the Common University Entrance Test (CUET) will commence soon. Students are advised to choose their careers based on their interests and skills rather than solely chasing marks.
