The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the Class 10th and 12th Board Results for 2025 in early May, likely between May 1 and May 10, 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. Students can check their provisional scores online using multiple platforms. Here’s a guide to accessing your results and key details about the 2025 results.
How to Check Your Score Online
Students can retrieve their CBSE 2025 results easily through these methods:

- Access digital marksheets on digilocker.gov.in using roll number and a 6-digit school PIN, activated via cbseservices.digilocker.gov.in/activatecbse.

Pass Percentage Expectations
In 2024, Class 10 achieved a pass percentage of 93.60%, and Class 12 recorded 87.98%, with girls outperforming boys. For 2025, Class 10 is expected to surpass 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 1–2 grace marks for borderline cases. The exams covered 84 subjects for Class 10 and 120 for Class 12 across 7,842 centers.
No Official Toppers List
CBSE will not publish a toppers list for 2025, continuing its policy since 2022 to reduce academic stress, as seen in posts on X. The top 0.1% of students per subject will receive merit certificates. Last year, over 47,983 Class 10 students scored above 95%, and similar high performances are anticipated. Unofficial topper details may emerge on external platforms, but no specific names are confirmed yet.
