CBSE Class 10th Result 2026: DigiLocker Issues Urgent Alert; APAAR ID Mandatory for Marksheets?
The CBSE Class 10 Result 2026 is likely to be declared by April 15–20, 2026. DigiLocker has urged students to set up their accounts and generate an APAAR ID immediately to ensure seamless access to digital marksheets and avoid last-minute technical glitches.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to announce the CBSE Class 10th Result 2026 by the end of April, with several reports suggesting a potential release as early as April 15-16. As approximately 25 lakh students wait for their scores, DigiLocker has released a crucial advisory.
In a recent official tweet, DigiLocker stated: "Don’t wait till result day—set up your DigiLocker account now and stay ready." The platform is emphasizing the creation of an APAAR ID (Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry) to ensure that digital marksheets are automatically pushed to the "Issued Documents" section the moment the results are live.
