The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced the Class 10 Second Board Examination Results 2026. Students who appeared for the improvement exam can now check and download their scorecards through DigiLocker and the official CBSE websites.
The second board examination was introduced this year under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020 as part of the new two-board exam system for Class 10.
While the first board exam was compulsory, the second was optional, giving students a chance to improve their marks. The higher score obtained in either attempt will be reflected in the final marksheet.
How to Check the Result
Students can access their digital marksheet by following these steps:
Visit the DigiLocker website or open the DigiLocker app.
Log in using your registered mobile number or Aadhaar credentials.
Go to the Issued Documents section and select CBSE.Choose Class 10 Marksheet/Passing Certificate 2026.
Enter the required details, including your roll number, school number and admit card ID, if asked.
View and download your marksheet for future use.
Students are advised to verify all details on the marksheet, including their name, roll number, subject-wise marks and qualifying status. Any discrepancy should be reported to the school or CBSE immediately.
To pass the examination, students must secure at least 33% marks. Those who do not meet the minimum qualifying criteria will have to appear for the compartment examination as per CBSE rules.
In the first board examination, CBSE recorded an overall Class 10 pass percentage of 93.70%. More than five lakh students registered for the second board examination to improve their scores under the newly introduced system.
