CBSE Class 12 Results 2026: How to Check Scores via IVRS and SMS (No Internet Needed!)

The wait for over 18 lakh students is almost over. The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to announce the Class 12 Board Results 2026 by the third week of May. While most students rush to results.cbse.nic.in, the massive surge in traffic often leads to server timeouts.

If you find yourself stuck with a "Site Cannot Be Reached" error, don't panic. You can get your marksheet instantly using the IVRS (Interactive Voice Response System) and SMS services.

1. How to Check CBSE 12th Result via IVRS (Phone Call)

The IVRS is a "call-and-listen" service provided by the National Informatics Centre (NIC). It allows you to hear your subject-wise marks over a standard telephone call.

• For Delhi Subscribers: Dial 24300699

• For Other Regions (Outside Delhi): Dial 011-24300699

Steps to follow:

1. Dial the number based on your location.

2. Follow the automated voice instructions carefully.

3. Enter your Roll Number and Date of Birth (as printed on your admit card) using the phone's keypad.

4. The system will read out your scores for each subject.

Note: Call charges apply as per your network provider's tariff (usually 30p per minute per result).

2. Check CBSE Class 12 Result 2026 via SMS
