The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has not yet announced the official date and time for the release of the Class 10 and 12 results, but they are widely expected to be declared between May 8 and May 13, 2025.
Over 42 lakh students are eagerly awaiting their results, which will be available on cbseresults.nic.in, results.cbse.nic.in, cbse.gov.in, DigiLocker, and the UMANG app.
CBSE has urged students and parents to avoid rumours and rely only on official updates, as the board begins distributing DigiLocker access codes to schools to facilitate smooth result access.
Result Anticipation Peaks as CBSE Urges Caution
With the anticipated result window drawing closer, students and their families across India are experiencing heightened anxiety and excitement. CBSE officials, speaking to several media outlets, have reiterated that the official date and time for the results will be notified soon on the board’s website.
“We request students and parents to refrain from trusting unverified sources and to check only the official CBSE website for updates,” a senior CBSE official told the media. This year, over 24.12 lakh students took the Class 10 exams, and 17.88 lakh appeared for Class 12, making it one of the largest cohorts in recent years.
The board has confirmed that, as in previous years, there will be no toppers’ list, and results will be declared region-wise. Students are advised to keep their roll number, date of birth, and DigiLocker code handy for swift access to their marksheets.

Background: Exam Timeline, New Guidelines, and Digital Access
The CBSE Class 10 exams concluded on March 18, and Class 12 exams wrapped up on April 4, 2025, with practical marks submitted by February 14. Historically, the board has released results within a month of the last exam, and last year’s results were announced on May 13.
This year, the board has issued fresh guidelines for post-result processes, including revaluation, marks verification, and obtaining photocopies of answer sheets, signalling that the results are imminent. Students must secure at least 33% in each subject and meet the overall passing criteria to be declared successful.
The online marksheet, available shortly after the results are announced, will be provisional, with original documents to be collected from respective schools. To streamline digital access, CBSE has started distributing DigiLocker access codes to schools, allowing students to retrieve their digital marksheets and certificates more efficiently.
The Logical Indian’s Perspective
As the nation collectively awaits the CBSE results, it is essential to remember the immense pressure students face during this period. The Logical Indian urges the CBSE to maintain transparency and timely communication, helping to alleviate unnecessary stress for students and parents.
Beyond the numbers, we must prioritise the mental well-being of our youth, recognising that academic results are only one aspect of their journey. Let us use this opportunity to foster resilience, empathy, and a broader definition of success-one that values learning, growth, and character over mere marks.
How can we, as a society, better support students during such high-pressure moments and promote a healthier, more compassionate approach to academic milestones?
