The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the Class 10th and 12th Board Results for 2025 in the first week of May 2025, following exams held from February 15 to April 4, 2025. Over 44 lakh students participated, with 24.12 lakh in Class 10 and 17.88 lakh in Class 12. Students can check their results roll number-wise online, but CBSE will not publish an official toppers list to reduce competitive pressure. Here’s how to access your marks and insights on high performers.
How to Check Roll Number Wise Results
Students can access their CBSE 2025 results using their roll number through multiple platforms:
- Visit results.cbse.nic.in or cbse.gov.in. Select “CBSE Class 10 Result 2025” or “CBSE Class 12 Result 2025,” enter roll number, date of birth, school number, and admit card ID, then submit to download the provisional marksheet.
- Use digilocker.gov.in with roll number and a 6-digit school PIN, available at cbseservices.digilocker.gov.in/activatecbse.
- Send an SMS to 7738299899 in the format: “cbse10 ” or “cbse12 ” for subject-wise marks.
- If you’ve lost your roll number, retrieve it at cbse.gov.in/cbsenew/finder.html using name, parents’ names, school code, and date of birth.
Original marksheets must be collected from schools.
Expected Pass Percentage
Last year’s pass percentages were 93.60% for Class 10 and 87.98% for Class 12, 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. Students need 33% per subject (including internals) to pass. The Trivandrum region is likely to lead, as it did in 2024 with 99.91% for Class 12. Over 47,983 Class 10 students scored above 95% last year, and similar trends are anticipated.
No Official Toppers List
CBSE will not release a toppers list for 2025, a policy in place since 2022 to ease academic stress, as confirmed by posts on X. Merit certificates will be awarded to the top 0.1% of students per subject. Unofficial reports from 2024 highlighted students like Divya Namdev, who scored 100% in Class 10. High scorers can submit details to platforms like collegedekho.com for recognition. No specific 2025 topper names are available yet.
