Hold tight, CBSE students! Despite some buzz about the CBSE Class 10 and 12 Results 2025 being declared, they’re not out yet as of May 1, 2025. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to drop the results for over 42 lakh students in the first or second week of May, possibly around May 2 or May 7–12. These results are a big deal for planning your next steps, whether it’s picking a stream or applying to colleges. Let’s clear up the confusion, explain how to check if you’ve passed or failed, and share what to do once the results are live!
Where to Check CBSE Results 2025
When the results are announced, you can check them on these official platforms:
You can also use SMS (send “cbse10” or “cbse12” with your roll number to 7738299899) or call the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) at 24300699 (with area code). You’ll need your roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth from your 2025 CBSE admit card.
How to Check CBSE Results 2025
Once the results are out, follow these steps to see if you’ve passed or failed:
- Go to results.cbse.nic.in or cbse.gov.in.
- Click on “CBSE Class 10 Result 2025” or “CBSE Class 12 Result 2025.”
- Enter your roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth.
- Hit “Submit” to view your marksheet.
- Check the Pass/Fail Status field—look for “PASS” (33%+ in each subject) or “COMP” (compartment, meaning you failed one/two subjects).
- Download and print your provisional marksheet for records.
For DigiLocker, visit cbse.digitallocker.gov.in, enter your school code, roll number, and a 6-digit PIN from your school, and verify with an OTP. Your digital marksheet will be under “Issued Documents.” Collect your original marksheet from school later.
Pass or Fail Criteria
The CBSE results will show:
- Your name, roll number, and school details
- Subject-wise marks (theory + internal/practical)
- Total marks and grades
- Pass/Fail status
- Division (First, Second, Third for Class 12; Class 10 uses CGPA)
To pass, you need:
- 33% minimum in each subject (combined theory + internal/practical).
- 33% overall aggregate for Class 10 (best 5 of 6 subjects) and Class 12 (all subjects).
- A grade above “E” in internal assessments (unless exempted).
If you miss 33% by a mark or two, CBSE may award grace marks. Failing one or two subjects means a “Compartment” (COMP) status, requiring supplementary exams in July 2025. Failing more than two subjects means repeating the year. Class 10 uses a 9-point grading system (A1–E), while Class 12 reports marks/percentages for college admissions.
What After the Results?
- Class 10 Students:
- Passed? Choose your Class 11 stream—Science, Commerce, or Arts. Talk to teachers or counselors for guidance.
- Compartment? Apply for supplementary exams (July 15–22, 2025, tentative) via cbse.gov.in. Results come in August.
- Unhappy with marks? Apply for re-evaluation (₹500/subject) or request answer sheet photocopies (₹700/sheet) in May/June 2025.
- Class 12 Students:
- Passed? Start college applications, entrance exams (e.g., NEET on May 4), or vocational courses.
- Compartment? Register for July supplementary exams to save your academic year.
- Need rechecking? Apply online within 1–2 weeks of results for verification or re-evaluation.
Check for errors (e.g., spelling, date of birth) on your marksheet and report to your school immediately.
