The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely expected to announce the Class 10 and Class 12 results today, 12 May 2025, although the board has not yet officially confirmed the exact time.
Over 42 lakh students across India and abroad are waiting for their results, which will be available on official CBSE portals and DigiLocker once released. The board continues to urge students and parents to rely only on official sources and not be misled by rumours or fake news.
Lakhs of Students Await Results Amid Uncertainty
This year, more than 42 lakh students appeared for the CBSE board exams, with 22 lakh in Class 10 and 20 lakh in Class 12. The exams were held from 15 February to 4 April 2025. While several media reports and board insiders anticipate the results will be declared today, the CBSE has not issued any official notification regarding the precise timing.
Students can check their results using their roll number, admit card ID, school code, and date of birth on the official websites-cbse.gov.in and cbseresults.nic.in-as well as on DigiLocker, the UMANG app, and via SMS and IVRS services. A senior CBSE official reiterated, “We request students to remain patient and only trust information released through CBSE’s official channels.”
How to Check CBSE Class 10 and 12 Results: Step-by-Step Guide
Once the results are declared, students can follow these simple steps to access their marksheets safely and quickly:
- Visit the Official Website: Go to any of the official result portals:
- Find the Result Link: Look for the link that says “CBSE Class 10 Result 2025” or “CBSE Class 12 Result 2025” on the homepage.
- Enter Required Details: Input your Roll Number, Admit Card ID, School Code, and Date of Birth exactly as mentioned on your admit card.

New Grading System and Streamlined Post-Result Processes
For the first time, CBSE is introducing a Relative Grading system, moving away from fixed mark bands to peer-comparison-based grades. This aims to reduce academic pressure and discourage unhealthy competition among students.
The board has also simplified post-result processes, allowing students to apply online for verification, re-evaluation, or photocopies of answer sheets. Last year, the pass percentage was 93.60% for Class 10 and 87.98% for Class 12, and the new system is expected to further promote fairness and student well-being.
CBSE Warns Against Misinformation
With result day generating excitement and anxiety, CBSE has issued multiple advisories warning students and parents against falling prey to fake news, fraudulent result links, or unofficial portals. The board’s official websites and social media handles remain the only trusted sources for result-related updates.
“We have observed several fake links and rumours online. Students must not share their credentials on any unofficial website,” a CBSE spokesperson stated. The board is also working with cyber security agencies to monitor and counter misinformation.
The Logical Indian’s Perspective
As millions of students and families anticipate the CBSE results, The Logical Indian commends the board’s focus on transparency and student well-being through the new grading system and digital result access.
We urge everyone to support students with empathy and understanding, regardless of the outcome, and to celebrate their hard work and resilience. How can we, as a community, further reduce exam-related anxiety and create a more supportive environment for students during such high-pressure times?
