A Milestone Moment for Students
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has reportedly released the Class 10 and 12 board exam results for 2025, a pivotal moment for over 44 lakh students. Conducted from February 15 to March 18 (Class 10) and February 15 to April 4 (Class 12), these exams saw 24.12 lakh Class 10 and 17.88 lakh Class 12 students participate across 7,842 centers. Despite speculation of an early release on May 2, recent updates suggest results are now available, following the board’s trend of mid-May announcements (May 13, 2024; May 12, 2023).
