The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is all set to release the Class 10 and 12 board exam results for the year 2025 this week. With more than 42 lakh students awaiting their results—24.12 lakh from Class 10 and 17.88 lakh from Class 12—the board is expected to follow a timeline similar to last year, when results were announced on May 13. While the official confirmation of the date is still awaited, students are advised to stay alert and keep their login details handy.

Once declared, the CBSE results will be available online through the official websites—cbse.gov.in and results.cbse.nic.in. Additionally, students can access their digital marksheets through the DigiLocker platform, either via the website or mobile app. These platforms offer a convenient and secure way to download official documents.

To check their results, students must enter key details such as their roll number, school number, admit card ID, date of birth, and a security pin. Here’s a step-by-step guide to access the marksheet once the results are out:

1. Visit the official websites – cbse.gov.in or results.cbse.nic.in
2. Click on the ‘Results’ section displayed on the homepage
3. Select the link for ‘CBSE Class 10th, 12th Results 2025’
4. Enter your credentials: roll number, school number, admit card ID, date of birth, and the security pin

The CBSE board exams for 2025 commenced on February 15. Class 10 exams concluded on March 18, while Class 12 exams ended on April 4. With the evaluation process nearing completion, the results are expected to go live any day now.
