CBSE Result 2026
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 and Class 12 board exams for the 2025-26 session are currently in progress, having started on February 17, 2026. Results have not been declared yet, and no official links or announcements are live on the CBSE portals (cbse.gov.in, results.cbse.nic.in, or cbseresults.nic.in). These sites currently display only 2025 supplementary/re-evaluation results.
Exams are ongoing (e.g., Day 2 papers like Home Science/Physical Education for Class 10 today), with Class 10 concluding around March 10–11, 2026, and Class 12 ending on April 10, 2026. Results are expected in the coming months, influenced by the new two-exam policy for Class 10 (mandatory Phase 1 in Feb–Mar; optional Phase 2 in May–June for improvement).
Expected Result Dates (Tentative, Based on Trends and Expert Predictions)
- Class 10 Phase 1 (Main Exam, Feb–Mar 2026): By end of April 2026 (some sources say mid-to-late April, e.g., April 20–30; others align with mid-May due to evaluation timelines).
- Class 10 Phase 2 (Optional Improvement, May–June 2026): By end of June 2026 (best of two scores counts for final transcript).
- Class 12 (Main Exam, Feb–Apr 2026): Mid-to-late May 2026 (typically May 10–20; often 40–50 days after last exam, potentially May 12–22).
- In many past years, Class 10 and 12 results released on the same day in mid-May, but the 2026 dual-exam setup for Class 10 may cause separate declarations.
- Declaration Time: Usually 12–2 PM IST, often with a press conference 30–60 minutes earlier.
These are predictions from sources like PW, Shiksha, Careers360, India TV, Indian Express, Times of India, and NDTV (as of mid-February 2026). CBSE has not issued an official result date yet—watch for announcements on cbse.gov.in.
Key Changes for 2026
- Class 10 Two-Exam Policy: First exam (Feb 17–Mar 11) is mandatory for all; second (May 15–June 1 tentative) optional for improvement. Final result uses the better score.
- Evaluation: Class 12 uses On-Screen Marking (OSM/digital evaluation) for faster processing; Class 10 remains physical in 2026.
- Pass Criteria: 33% in each subject (theory + practical/internal combined); overall pass required.
- Re-evaluation/Verification/Compartment: Windows open post-results (online application with fees); supplementary exams likely in July 2026 for failed subjects.
