The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to release the Class 12 results for 2026 in the second or third week of May, specifically between May 10 and May 15. Students can access their results through the official CBSE websites, results.cbse.nic.in and cbse.gov.in, as well as on the DigiLocker app and website, digilocker.gov.in. Additionally, results will be available via SMS and IVRS. To pass, students must secure a minimum of 33% in each subject, and for subjects with practical components, passing both theory and practical exams is mandatory. Those who do not meet the passing criteria in one or two subjects will have the opportunity to take compartment exams. Following the results announcement, the CBSE will provide detailed guidelines on verification, rechecking, and re-evaluation processes.
