Parinam Manjusha, is first of its kind online repository as a single source of result data developed and implemented by IT Department, CBSE and integrated with National eGovernance Division’s (NeGD) Digi Locker. Result data of board examinees of the last twenty-two years (2001-2022) and CTET examinees of five years (2018-2022) is available for download of academic documents by students and just-in-time verification by admissions and counselling bodies, higher education institutions, and employers. The Board further plans to upload legacy results from 1975 onwards in this repository.
This will help students in fetching their old degrees and documents faster, rather than following the old process which takes longer in physical access mode.

Additionally, CTET exam mark sheet and passing certificates, scholarship and registration cards of class 9 and 11 are also available for real time generation and download through this repository. All the documents are digitally signed and have PKI based QR code for authentication. API based bulk verification is also available for easy and quick facilitation of Admissions and Counselling bodies, Higher Education Institutions and Employers.
