The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has introduced a tele-counseling helpline and email support system to assist students and parents with post-result queries following the Class XII examinations. The helpline, available at 1800-11-8004, aims to provide important information regarding exams, results, and evaluations, thereby reducing stress for students. The official email for inquiries is resultcbse2026@cbseshiksha.in, as the previously mentioned address has been compromised. This year, CBSE reported an overall pass percentage of 85.20%, a decline of 3.9% from the prior year, with 18,57,517 students registered for the exams. Girls outperformed boys with pass rates of 88.86% and 82.13%, respectively. Trivandrum emerged as the top-performing region with a 95.62% pass rate. Kendriya Vidyalayas and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas led institutional performance with pass percentages of 98.55% and 98.47%. Additionally, CBSE has made the study of three languages compulsory for Class IX students starting July 1, 2026, aligning with the National Education Policy 2020.
