CBSE Board 12th Result 2026: Around 18.5 lakh students are eagerly awaiting their Class 12 board examination results for 2026. While there has been no official confirmation, several media reports suggest that the results are likely to be announced by the end of April 2026.
Why CBSE May Release Class 12 Results Earlier This Year
CBSE has introduced On-Screen Marking (OSM) for Class 12, which means that instead of manually checking physical answer sheets, they will be scanned and uploaded to a secure online platform for evaluation starting from the 2026-27 academic session. With OSM, the evaluation process is expected to be completed within nine days, compared to around 12 days earlier. The Class 12 exams ended on April 10, 2026.
