The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to announce the Class 10th and 12th Board Results for 2025 between May 1 and May 10, 2025, following exams conducted from February 15 to April 4, 2025. Over 42 lakh students participated, with 24.12 lakh in Class 10 and 17.88 lakh in Class 12. Provisional marksheets will be available online, and students can check their scores using official portals. Here’s how to access your results and stay updated with live developments.
How to Check Your Results
Students can access their CBSE 2025 results through multiple platforms to bypass potential website traffic issues:
- Visit results.cbse.nic.in or cbse.gov.in. Click “CBSE Class 10 Result 2025” or “CBSE Class 12 Result 2025,” enter roll number, date of birth, school number, and admit card ID, then submit to download the marksheet.
- Use digilocker.gov.in with roll number and a 6-digit school PIN to access digital marksheets. Register at cbseservices.digilocker.gov.in for account activation.
- Send an SMS to 7738299899 in the format: “cbse10 ” or “cbse12 ” to receive marks via text.
- Check via the UMANG app or call 24300699 (30 paise/minute) with your area code for Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) results.
Original marksheets must be collected from schools, as online results are provisional.
Expected Pass Percentage
In 2024, Class 10 recorded a pass percentage of 93.60%, and Class 12 achieved 87.98%, with girls outperforming boys. For 2025, Class 10 is anticipated to exceed 93%, and Class 12 may reach around 88%, driven by moderate question papers and lenient evaluations. Students need 33% per subject (including internal assessments) to pass, with grace marks of 1–2 points for borderline cases. The exams covered 84 subjects for Class 10 and 120 for Class 12 across 7,842 centers.
No Toppers List for 2025
CBSE will not release an official toppers list for 2025, continuing its policy to reduce exam-related stress, as confirmed in posts on X. However, the board will award merit certificates to the top 0.1% of students per subject. Last year, over 47,983 Class 10 students scored above 95%, and similar high performances are expected this year. Unofficial topper lists may appear on platforms like collegedekho.com.
