The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to announce the Class 10th and 12th Board Results for 2025 in early May, likely between May 1 and May 10, following exams held 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 provisional marksheets online using roll numbers, with results typically released on the same day for both classes. Here’s how to access your scores and key updates.
How to Check Your Results
Students can access their CBSE 2025 results through multiple platforms to avoid website congestion:
- Visit results.cbse.nic.in or cbse.gov.in. Click “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 marksheet.
- Use digilocker.gov.in with roll number and a 6-digit school PIN to access digital marksheets.
- Send an SMS to 7738299899 in the format: “cbse10 ” or “cbse12 ” for results via text.
- Use the UMANG app or call 24300699 (30 paise/minute) with your area code for IVRS results.
Original marksheets must be collected from schools, as online results are provisional.
Expected Pass Percentage
Last year, Class 10 recorded a pass percentage of 93.60%, and Class 12 achieved 87.98%, with girls outperforming boys. For 2025, Class 10 is expected to exceed 93%, and Class 12 may hover around 88%, driven by moderate question papers. Students need 33% per subject (including internal assessments) to pass, with grace marks of 1–2 points for borderline cases. Exams covered 84 subjects for Class 10 and 120 for Class 12 across 7,842 centers.
No Official Toppers List
CBSE will not release a toppers list for 2025, continuing its policy since 2022 to reduce academic stress, as noted in posts on X. Merit certificates will be awarded to the top 0.1% of students per subject. In 2024, over 47,983 Class 10 students scored above 95%, and similar high performances are expected. Unofficial topper lists may appear on external platforms, but no specific names are confirmed yet.
