Inside the CBSE Class 12 result 2026

CBSE will not hold any press conference to declare the Class 12 results. On the result day, the official CBSE websites like cbse.gov.in and results.cbse.nic.in may face high traffic. Therefore, apart from the official websites, the result link will be available on mobile apps such as Digilocker or via SMS as well. 

 

The division and total pass rates are not printed on the marksheet by CBSE. It only displays the theoretical and practical grades by subject. By summing all five subject marks and dividing by the maximum marks, students manually determine their own percentage.

 

The publication of the toppers' list has been terminated by the board. The choice was made to prevent unhealthy competition.

 

Exams for students in West Asian nations were also cancelled by the board. All students, including those in West Asia, will be informed of the upcoming CBSE Class 12 results.
