The introduction of On-Screen Marking for the first time in the CBSE Class 12 examinations, which took place from February 17 to April 10, 2026, aims to modernize the evaluation process and expedite result compilation. The results are expected to be released in the third week of May 2026, following a consistent pattern observed in previous years.
Key facts:
- Students must score at least 33% marks in each theory paper and in the combined total for every subject to pass.
- The evaluation process for the results began in a phased manner after the exams concluded.
- In 2025, over 16.9 lakh students appeared for the Class 12 examinations with a pass percentage of 88.39%.
Sanyam Bhardwaj, an official from CBSE, stated that the process is functioning “perfectly” and remains firmly on schedule. Furthermore, he dismissed reports suggesting disruptions in the digital evaluation system as “far away from facts.” This assurance indicates a commitment to ensuring that the new marking system operates smoothly during its inaugural implementation.
The results for CBSE Class 12 are typically declared after May 10, based on past trends. Students can check their results on the official website results.cbse.nic.in. The shift to a digital marking system represents a significant change aimed at improving efficiency and accuracy in grading.
