The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is gearing up to announce the much-awaited Class 10 and Class 12 board results for 2025. Students who appeared in the exams can expect the results to be declared around mid-May, following the trend of previous years.
Exam Overview: Record Participation in 2025
This year, the CBSE Class 10 and 12 board exams were conducted from February 15 to April 4. A staggering 42 lakh students registered for the 2024-25 session, marking one of the largest participation rates in recent years.
-
Class 10: 24.12 lakh students appeared across 84 subjects.
-
Class 12: 17.88 lakh students registered for exams covering 120 subjects.
Such large numbers highlight the importance of timely result declaration to facilitate smooth college admissions and further education planning.
CBSE Result Release Trends: A Look Back

Where to Check CBSE 2025 Results
Students will be able to access their scorecards on the official portals:
Additionally, results will also be made available via DigiLocker and SMS services for easier access.
Passing Marks and Grace Marks Policy
To pass the CBSE board exams, a student must secure at least 33% marks in each subject.
In cases where a student narrowly misses the passing mark — for example, falling short by just one mark — the board has a provision to award grace marks at its discretion. This policy helps ensure that students are not held back for marginal shortfalls.
Key Points for Students
-
Keep your roll number, admit card ID, and school code ready.
-
Results for both Class 10 and Class 12 will be declared on the same day.
-
Students unsatisfied with their marks can apply for revaluation once the window opens.
-
Those who do not clear the exam may appear for compartment exams, for which CBSE will announce the schedule after the main results.
Conclusion:
As state boards across India have started releasing their results, CBSE students can also expect an official announcement soon. Students are advised to stay calm, avoid rumors, and regularly check official channels for authentic updates.
