On May 13, 2025, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the Class 12 board exam results, bringing relief to over 16.92 lakh students. With an impressive 88.39% pass rate, up 0.41% from 2024’s 87.98%, the results reflect strong academic performance across India and 26 countries. While Class 10 results are still awaited, here’s how to access your Class 12 scores and what to do next.
How to Check Your Results
Students can access their provisional marksheets on official websites like cbse.gov.in, cbseresults.nic.in, or results.cbse.nic.in by entering their roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth. The DigiLocker platform (digilocker.gov.in) offers digital marksheets using a 6-digit school-provided PIN and roll number. Alternatively, download the UMANG app, select CBSE services, and log in with the same credentials.

For offline access, send an SMS to 7738299899 in the format: “cbse12 [roll number] [school number] [center number].” The Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) is available by dialing 24300699 with your area code. Original marksheets must be collected from schools later.
Performance Highlights
Of the 17.04 lakh registered students, 16,92,794 appeared, and 14,96,307 passed, achieving an 88.39% pass rate. Girls outperformed boys with 91.64% compared to 85.70%, a 5.94% gap, while transgender students achieved a perfect 100% pass rate. Vijayawada led regions with a 99.60% pass rate, followed by Trivandrum (99.32%) and Chennai (97.39%). The exams, held from February 15 to April 4, 2025, across 7,842 centers, were moderately difficult, contributing to the slight pass rate increase. CBSE continues its no-topper-list policy to reduce competition.
Next Steps
Students dissatisfied with their scores can apply for revaluation (Rs 100 per question) or request answer sheet photocopies (Rs 500–700) in May–June 2025 via cbse.gov.in. Those failing in one or two subjects can take compartment exams in July 2025, with results expected in August. Failing more than two subjects may require repeating the year. A minimum 33% per subject is needed to pass, with grace marks possible for near misses.
