Moment of Truth for Students
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is poised to announce the Class 10 and 12 board exam results for 2025, likely in mid-May, following trends from previous years (May 13, 2024; May 12, 2023). Around 44 lakh students 24.12 lakh in Class 10 and 17.88 lakh in Class 12 took the exams from February 15 to March 18 (Class 10) and February 15 to April 4 (Class 12) at 7,842 centers. Despite early rumors of a May 2 release, CBSE clarified no results were out then, pointing to a probable May 7–12 window.
