The wait for lakhs of students is almost over. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to declare the CBSE Class 12 Result 2026 today, May 11, 2026, or within the next 24 hours. A "Class 12 Result Coming Soon" banner has already been activated on the DigiLocker portal, signaling that the digital marksheets are being uploaded to the servers.
This year, CBSE has introduced the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, a digital evaluation method designed to minimize manual errors and accelerate the result-hosting process. Over 16 lakh students across the Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams are eagerly anticipating their performance reports.
To avoid the heavy traffic on the official CBSE websites, students are advised to use the DigiLocker platform, which provides an legally valid digital marksheet. Follow these steps:
Visit the Portal: Go to the official DigiLocker website at digilocker.gov.in or open the mobile app.
Login/Sign Up: Use your registered mobile number or Aadhaar details to log in.
Account Confirmation: Under the "Education" section, select 'Central Board of Secondary Education'.
Enter Credentials: Use the 6-digit Access Code provided by your school.
Note: If your school hasn't shared it, you can still sign in using your Aadhaar-linked mobile number.
Fetch Marksheet: Click on the "Class XII Marksheet" link. Enter your Roll Number and School Code.
Download & Save: Your digital marksheet will appear. Download the PDF and keep a hard copy for future admissions.

In 2025, the overall pass percentage for Class 12 was 88.39%. With the introduction of more competency-based questions in the 2026 exams (held from Feb 17 to April 10), educators are closely watching the performance trends. The board will likely maintain the policy of not announcing a toppers list to avoid "unhealthy competition."
To access your result, you will need your Roll Number, School Number, and Admit Card ID. These are printed on your hall ticket.
Yes, the digital marksheet and passing certificate issued via DigiLocker are legally valid and at par with original physical documents as per the IT Act.
It is a unique security PIN issued by CBSE to schools. Schools are responsible for distributing these codes to individual students to activate their DigiLocker accounts securely.
CBSE will conduct Compartment (Supplementary) Exams for students who fail in one or two subjects. The schedule for these exams will be released shortly after the main results.
You can use the UMANG App, IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System), or the SMS-based service provided by CBSE. Send cbse12 <rollno> <sch no> <center no> to the number provided by the board (usually 7738299899).
