The CBSE Class 12 2025 results are set to be announced soon, exciting over 17.88 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 explains how to check scores, what to expect, and next steps, all in simple English.
Result Release Date
CBSE is likely to release Class 12 results in the second week of May, possibly May 7–12, 2025, around 1:00 PM IST. Exams ran from February 15 to April 4, 2025, across 7,842 centers, and evaluations are nearly complete. No official date is confirmed, but a CBSE official ruled out releases before the weekend. Check cbse.gov.in, results.cbse.nic.in, or cbseresults.nic.in for updates. Keep roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth ready.

Expected Performance
