As the academic year draws to a close, lakhs of students across India—and their parents—are eagerly waiting for one major update: the CBSE 10th and 12th board exam results for 2025. With exams wrapped up and evaluation in full swing, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to release the results soon. But what should students expect? How can they access their scorecards quickly and accurately once the results are out? In this article, we’ll break everything down for you.
Whether you’re a student, parent, or educator, here’s a clear and complete guide to understanding the CBSE result process, what’s likely in store this year, and the right steps to follow once the results go live.
When Will CBSE Results 2025 Be Declared?
Though the CBSE has not yet officially confirmed a date, if we go by previous trends, the results are likely to be announced in the first or second week of May 2025.
Here’s a quick glance at past result release dates:
- 2024: Declared on May 12 (both 10th and 12th)
- 2023: Declared on May 13 (12th), May 14 (10th)
- 2022: Released in two terms, with final results in July
Considering the board returned to a single-exam format this year, we can reasonably expect results around May 10–15, 2025.
Note: Always rely on the official CBSE website or trusted news outlets for result-related announcements. Avoid random rumors circulating on social media.

What’s on the Scorecard?
A typical CBSE result scorecard includes:
- Student’s Name & Roll Number
- Subject-wise Marks
- Grades
- Overall Percentage
- Division (First/Second/Third)
- Qualifying Status (Pass/Fail/Compartment)
In 2025, CBSE is likely to continue with its 9-point grading scale for Class 10 and the marks-based system for Class 12. However, the emphasis remains on overall performance, not just raw scores.

This marks the end of your secondary education and opens doors to multiple streams—Science, Commerce, Humanities—for higher secondary studies. Your marks may influence:
- Stream Selection in Class 11

Take time to reflect on your interests, not just marks, when choosing your stream.

CBSE has a structured mechanism for students who feel their marks don’t reflect their true performance.
Options Available:
