The CBSE Class 10 2025 results are around the corner, exciting over 24 lakh students across India. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is finalizing evaluations, with results expected between May 7 and May 12, 2025, based on last year’s May 13, 2024, release. A fake notice claiming a May 6 result was debunked by CBSE on May 4, 2025. This article covers how to check your scores, what to expect, and next steps, all in simple English.
Result Release Date
CBSE is likely to announce Class 10 results in the second week of May, possibly May 7–12, 2025, around 1:00 PM IST. Exams ran from February 15 to March 18, 2025, across 7,780 centers, and evaluations are nearly complete. No official date is set, but a CBSE official confirmed no release before the weekend. Check cbse.gov.in or results.cbse.nic.in for updates. Keep your roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth ready.
