Students must score at least 33% in each individual subject to pass the PSEB Class 10 examination. This threshold applies to both theory and practical components separately. A student who scores above 33% overall but falls below this mark in even one subject will be classified as requiring a compartment examination. The compartment exam is tentatively planned for June 2026

For the first time at scale, PSEB adopted on-screen marking for the Class 10 board examination 2026. Under this system, physical answer sheets are scanned and digitised, and evaluators mark them on computer screens using dedicated software. This approach — already standard in CBSE — is designed to reduce inconsistencies in manual marking and is expected to reflect in more uniform results across districts and schools.

The 2025 PSEB Class 10 result recorded an overall pass percentage of 95.61% — a notable dip from the 97.24% in 2024. Despite the lower aggregate, three female students scored a perfect 100%, and Akshnoor Kaur emerged as the state topper. Government schools posted 95.47%, while private schools slightly outperformed them.

The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) is the statutory authority responsible for conducting secondary (Class 10) and senior secondary (Class 12) board examinations in Punjab. Established in 1969 and headquartered in Sector 69, Mohali, PSEB regulates curriculum, evaluation, and textbook publication for thousands of government and private affiliated schools across the state.

Senior secondary students have just two days more to wait. PSEB has confirmed that the Class 12 result will be declared on May 13, 2026 at 12:30 PM — following the same press conference format as today's Class 10 announcement. Students in Class 12 are advised to activate their DigiLocker accounts ahead of time.
