The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced Class 12 results for the year 2025 today (May 13), and the results for Class 10 will follow soon. The board reports a slight boost in the pass percentage this year from 2024. With parents and students awaiting Class 10 results with bated breath, CBSE has asked people to use only authorized websites like cbse.gov.in, cbseresults.nic.in, and results.cbse.nic.in to get genuine updates.
In the meantime, students can also view their results through DigiLocker, a digital platform providing verified marksheets and certificates. CBSE will send login credentials and access codes through SMS on registered mobile numbers, allowing easy digital access. Students will use their DigiLocker credentials to log in and download their marksheets after the results are declared.
