The Central Board of Secondary Education is likely to declare the Class 12 board exam results for 2026 shortly on its official website. Once released, students can check their scores online using their roll number, school number, admit card ID and date of birth. The result will also be available on multiple platforms to ease access as lakhs of students log in at the same time.
This year, more than 16 lakh students appeared for the Class 12 board exams, making it one of the largest school-level examinations in the country. Along with results, the board is expected to release key data such as overall pass percentage, region-wise performance and other statistics.
This is the first time the board is holding exams under a two-board exam system. The system was introduced last year to allow students to improve their scores in up to three subjects.
With results around the corner, students and parents are watching closely for official confirmation. Heavy traffic is expected on result websites, which is why alternate platforms like DigiLocker and UMANG may see higher usage once the scores go live.
