The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to declare the Class 10 board exam results for 2026 by around April 14. The early announcement is being planned due to the second round of board exams scheduled in May. Although there is no official confirmation yet, students can expect the results to be released in mid-April.
The second set of board exams is part of the two-exam system introduced by CBSE last year. This system allows students to improve their scores in up to three subjects or reappear if they fall into the compartment category.
This year, the Class 10 board exams ended on March 11, while the Class 12 exams are still ongoing and will conclude on April 10. Both Class 10 and Class 12 exams began on February 17.
