Students who appeared for the second phase of the board exams will be able to check their scores on the official websites — cbseresults.nic.in, results.cbse.nic.in and cbse.gov.in. (Express photo/ representational)The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will announce the results for Class 10 second board exam this month; however, the date has not been shared yet. Once released, students who appeared for the examination can check their results by visiting the official websites at cbse.gov.in, results.cbse.nic.in, and cbseresults.nic.in. Alternatively, they can also access their results through the UMANG app, SMS, DigiLocker, and IVRS, in case of delays caused by heavy traffic on the official portals.
Starting this session, CBSE introduced the two-board exam system. It aimed at giving students more chances to improve their overall performance and increase their marks. Under this policy, students who were unhappy with their marks in the phase one examination get a second chance to improve their results. The higher marks secured in either attempt will be reflected in the final result.
The CBSE Class 10 Second Board Examination 2026 was conducted from May 15 to June 1, 2026. The phase one board examination was held from February 17 to March 11. The phase one examination results were out on April 15. In the Phase 1 examination, CBSE recorded an overall pass percentage of 93.70%. Girls outperformed boys with a pass percentage of 94.99%, compared to 92.69% for boys. Among transgender candidates, the pass percentage stood at 87.50%. Of the total candidates, 55,368 scored above 95%, while 2,21,574 crossed the 90% mark. However, over 1.47 lakh students have been placed in the compartment or supplementary category.
The marksheet downloaded from the official result portal will serve as a provisional document. Students will receive their final consolidated marksheet and passing certificate through their respective schools after the results are processed.
After the second examination results are announced, CBSE will issue a single consolidated marksheet incorporating the highest score obtained by each student in every subject. This final document will be used for Class 11 admissions and other academic purposes.
Once declared, students will be able to access their provisional marksheets through CBSE’s official result websites as well as DigiLocker and the UMANG platform. Candidates should rely only on official portals to avoid misinformation.
Once the results are announced, students can download their provisional digital marksheets from official platforms. These documents can be used for immediate admission-related purposes until schools distribute the original consolidated certificates.
After the declaration of the second board examination results, CBSE will prepare one consolidated marksheet incorporating the best subject-wise scores. Students will receive the final official documents through their respective schools.
After downloading the result, candidates should carefully verify important details such as their name, roll number, subjects, marks, qualifying status and personal information. Any discrepancy should be reported to the school immediately for correction.
While students can download provisional scorecards from official digital platforms, the original consolidated marksheet and passing certificate will be distributed only through affiliated schools after the board completes the result process.
The consolidated CBSE Class 10 result will play an important role in admissions to Class 11, particularly for students seeking Science or Commerce streams where cut-offs may depend on marks secured in key subjects.
After the results are declared, CBSE is expected to open the process for verification of marks, obtaining photocopies of evaluated answer sheets and revaluation. Students dissatisfied with their scores can apply within the prescribed schedule.
The board will compare marks obtained in both examination attempts separately for each subject. If a student improves in only one or two papers, only those higher scores will replace the earlier marks in the final consolidated result.
Students should access their results only through official CBSE platforms once the result link is activated. Depending on unofficial websites or social media posts may lead to incorrect information or unnecessary confusion on result day.
For every 70-odd candidates who sat for the UPSC Civil Services (Preliminary) Examination in 2023-24, only one went on to appear for the Mains — a ratio that has held roughly steady even as the overall size of the applicant pool has begun to shrink. The Union Public Service Commission’s (UPSC) 74th annual report (2023-24) shows a shift in candidate behaviour in the Civil Services Examination (CSE) — even as fewer aspirants sat for the Preliminary exam, a larger number of them went on to appear for the Mains.
According to the report, the number of candidates who appeared for the CSE (Preliminary), including the Indian Forest Service (Preliminary) exam, fell to 10,27,514 in 2023-24, down from 11,52,566 in 2022-23 and 11,12,318 in 2021-22. This marks a decline of nearly 1.25 lakh candidates compared to the previous year — the lowest turnout for the Prelims among the three years covered in the report.
The introduction of the two-board examination system gives Class 10 students greater flexibility by allowing them another opportunity to improve their academic performance within the same year, reducing dependence on a single high-stakes examination.
Internal assessment and practical marks are carried forward for both examination phases. Students only reappeared for the theory component, while their previously awarded internal assessment marks remain part of the final result.
Students need not worry if they performed below expectations in the second examination. CBSE will retain the higher score obtained in each subject, ensuring that the second attempt cannot reduce a candidate’s final marks.
Students who appeared for the exam can check their results on the official website at cbse.gov.in, results.cbse.nic.in, and cbseresults.nic.in.
Science recorded the highest number of registrations in the second examination, followed by Mathematics Standard, Mathematics Basic and Social Science. Many students opted to improve marks in these core subjects for future stream selection.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to announce the class 10th second board examination results in this month.
The Kerala High Court on Thursday came to the aid of three CBSE class 12 students, one of them from the UAE, by allowing them to upload their reevaluated marks on the KEAM portal, but said that their admission based on the recast rank list shall be considered from the second allotment round.
The students had moved the court, claiming that if their revalued marks were taken into reckoning, their rank would have improved tremendously. They said that their revalued marks were published by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) only after the Kerala Engineering Architecture Medical (KEAM) rank list was published on June 27.
The three students had alleged in their respective petitions that they had been deprived of their eligible rank in KEAM 2026 due to the irregularity in valuation by CBSE and the delay in publishing their revalued results.
