When will CBSE release Class 12 marks? Check last five years’ trends

In the past few years, CBSE took almost a month to declare the Class 12 results. However, this was particularly in the pre-Covid era. In 2018, exams were held between March 5 till April 12, and the result was declared after 43 days on May 26.

Then, in 2019 there was a dramatic decrease in the waiting time. As compared to 43 days waiting period in the preceding year, in 2019 the result was declared in a record time of 28 days. The exams concluded on April 3 and the result was declared on May 2.

In 2020, the exams were cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, after being postponed. In the Covid year, the result was declared on July 13. The exams, according to the CBSE, were cancelled due to requests from various state governments. The decision to cancel the exams was first disclosed in a Supreme Court hearing. Therefore, the result was prepared on the basis of the Internal Assessment Scheme.

The exams were yet again cancelled in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The result was declared on July 30. Between 2020 and 2021, there was a difference of 17 days in the declaration of Class 12 results.  A 13-member committee was formed by the board to prepare the Class 12 results in 2021.
