CBSE board exam results for Class 10 and Class 12 are published on results.cbse.nic.in and cbseresults.nic.in, with links on cbse.gov.in. Digital marksheets are also issued in DigiLocker, and results can be seen through the UMANG app. To check online you need your roll number, school number and admit card ID, all printed on your board admit card.
Since 2026, Class 10 has two board exams, so there can be two Class 10 result announcements in a year: one for the first exam and one for the optional second exam. Class 12 has one main result and a later supplementary result.

How to check on the CBSE website
- Open results.cbse.nic.in. If it is slow, try cbseresults.nic.in.
- Click the link for Secondary School Examination (Class X) or Senior School Certificate Examination (Class XII) for the year.
- Enter your roll number, school number and admit card ID, plus your date of birth if the page asks.
- Enter the security code and submit.

How to get your marksheet in DigiLocker
- Go to the DigiLocker results page or open the DigiLocker app.
- Choose CBSE and your class.
- Enter your school code, roll number and the 6-digit security PIN that your school shares with you.
- Activate your account with your mobile number if asked.
- Open Issued Documents to see your marksheet and certificates.
DigiLocker documents are legally valid for admission and other purposes, the same as paper documents issued by the board.
Reading your CBSE marksheet
The marks statement lists each subject with theory marks, internal or practical marks, the total and a grade. Grades are given on a scale from A1 at the top down to E. Subjects of internal assessment, such as Health and Physical Education, appear with grades only. The result line at the bottom says Pass, Compartment or Essential Repeat. If a subject shows a symbol or note you do not understand, the key is printed on the marksheet or explained in the CBSE result notice.
CBSE does not announce toppers or a merit list. Students in the top band of each subject get a merit certificate instead.
CBSE result without admit card
Many students search for how to check the CBSE result without an admit card ID or number. The official website needs details that are printed on the admit card, so you cannot skip them. If you have lost the admit card:
- Ask your school. It has the roll numbers and admit card IDs of all its students and can share them.
- Use DigiLocker with the security PIN from your school, which does not need the admit card ID.
- Check the school's result list, which CBSE makes available to schools.
Do not give your details to websites or messages offering to find your result for a fee. Only CBSE, DigiLocker and UMANG show official results.
Re-evaluation: the current process
From 2025, CBSE changed the order of the post-result process. You now first apply for a photocopy of your evaluated answer book. Only after seeing it can you apply for verification of marks, re-evaluation of specific questions, or both.
- Photocopy: apply online through the CBSE website in the window given in the board's notice and pay the fee per subject.
- Check the answer book: look for unmarked answers, totalling errors or answers you think deserve more marks.
- Verification: asks CBSE to check totalling and whether every answer was marked.
- Re-evaluation: asks for specific questions to be marked again, for a fee per question.
- Outcome: if marks change, the revised result appears on the CBSE website and in DigiLocker.
The fees and dates are announced in a CBSE notice after each result. The windows are only a few days long, so read the notice the day results come out.
Is re-evaluation worth it?
Look at the photocopy before you pay for anything more. If an answer was left unmarked or the totals do not add up, verification is the right step. If you believe a specific answer deserved more, choose re-evaluation for that question only. Marks can also go down on re-evaluation, so apply only where you are confident.
If you do not pass a subject
- Class 10: the optional second board exam lets you appear in up to three subjects, including for improvement. Check the CBSE notice for eligibility in your case.
- Class 12: students placed in compartment can appear in the supplementary exam, usually held in July.
- To pass you need 33 percent in each subject. The result shows which subjects need another attempt.
