The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely to release the Class 10 (Session 1) results for 2026 soon, possibly earlier than last year. This change is because the second round of board exams is scheduled for May 2026. Around 43 lakh students, including nearly 25 lakh Class 10 students, are waiting for their results.
Although CBSE has not made any official announcement yet, Class 10 results are expected before the last week of April. Class 12 results may be announced before the second week of May 2026, following previous trends. Last year, both Class 10 and Class 12 results were declared on May 13.
From this year, CBSE has also introduced a second set of board exams, giving students a chance to improve their scores in up to three subjects.
