A Year of Stability, Support, and New Initiatives
The 2025 CBSE Class 10 exams were conducted smoothly from 15 February to 18 March, across 26,675 schools and 7,837 centres nationwide. The board continued its policy of not releasing a toppers’ list to discourage unhealthy competition and prioritise student well-being.
Over 1.41 lakh students (5.96%) have been placed in the compartment category, slightly higher than last year. Students can access their digital mark sheets using their roll number, admit card ID, and school code on cbse.gov.in, cbseresults.nic.in, results.cbse.nic.in, DigiLocker, and UMANG.

The Logical Indian’s Perspective
CBSE’s commitment to accessibility, inclusivity, and student well-being is evident in this year’s results. The adoption of relative grading, the success of students from diverse backgrounds, and the emphasis on mental health reflect a progressive shift in India’s educational landscape.
As we celebrate the achievements of students across the country, it is essential to recognise that academic results are just one part of a young person’s journey. How can our education system continue to evolve to support every learner’s unique strengths and aspirations, ensuring that no one is left behind?
