The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has declared the Class 12 results for 2026, allowing students to check their scores through various platforms such as cbse.gov.in and DigiLocker. To calculate the percentage, students should use the formula: Percentage = (Total Marks Obtained in All Subjects ÷ Total Maximum Marks of All Subjects) × 100. For instance, if a student scores 80 in English, 75 in Math, 85 in Science, 70 in Social Science, and 90 in Hindi, the total marks obtained would be 400 out of a maximum of 500, resulting in an 80% score. To pass, students must achieve at least 33% in each subject and in aggregate. Those who do not meet this criterion must take the CBSE Class 12 supplementary exams to continue their academic journey.
