CBSE Class 10 results 2026 expected soon | How to check scores & set up DigiLocker account

CBSE Board Result 2026 Date LIVE: The Central Board of Secondary Education is set to announce the CBSE Class 10 results 2026 shortly. Nearly 25 lakh Class 10 candidates are awaiting their scores this year.

CBSE results 2026 date and time
While no official date has been confirmed, sources suggest that Class 10 results may be declared anytime soon, possibly within hours or days. Class 12 results are likely to be announced in the second week of May 2026.

Last year, both results were announced on May 13, but this year’s schedule may differ due to the introduction of a second phase of exams.

Why results may be released early
CBSE has scheduled a second phase of Class 10 board exams from May 15, allowing students to improve scores in up to three subjects. This has led to expectations that Class 10 results will be declared earlier than usual.

CBSE evaluation process
Examiners check 20 answer sheets per day for major subjects and 25 for others. With on-screen marking, evaluation can be completed in about 9 days, faster than previous years.

Passing marks and grace policy: Students must secure at least 33% overall to pass. Those falling short by 1–2 marks may receive grace marks.
