The approximately 17.68 lakh students who appeared for the CBSE Class 12 exams in 2026can now access their results. CBSE has ensured multiple accessible channels for result declaration. This service is particularly useful when official websites face heavy traffic. The Education Desk in New Delhi advises all candidates to keep their roll numbers and admit card details handy to ensure a smooth and stress-free result-checking process. This year, the overall pass percentage recorded a slight dip to 85.20%, reflecting a 3.19% decrease compared to the previous year. Performance data reveals that nearly 15.07 lakh students successfully cleared the exams. Girls outperformed boys by a margin of 6.73%. Geographically, Trivandrum emerged as the top-performing region with a pass rate of 95.62%, while Prayagraj recorded the lowest at 72.43%.

Previously, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) had officially dismissed reports of technical glitches and delays within its newly implemented On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, asserting that the digital evaluation process was functioning "perfectly." While these online and mobile results serve as immediate provisional references, you must eventually collect your original marksheets from the respective schools and ensure you have met the minimum passing criteria of 33% in both theory and practical exams.
