CBSE Class 10 Second Board Exam 2026 results declared at DigiLocker; here's how to check scores
CBSE has declared the Class 10 Second Board Exam 2026 results. Students can check their scores and download digital mark sheets through DigiLocker.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Saturday (18 July) announced the results of the Class 10 Second Board Examination 2026, marking the first year of the dual-board examination system introduced under the National Education Policy (NEP) 2020. Students who appeared for the examination can now access their scorecards and digital academic documents through the DigiLocker Results Portal.
According to CBSE, the overall pass percentage stands at 96.78% after combining the results of the Main and Second Board Examinations. Of the 5,13,955 students who appeared to improve their scores, 3,08,095 (59.95%) recorded better performance than in the main examination.
The second board examination, rolled out from the 2026 academic session, allows Class 10 students to take two board examinations within the same academic year. The initiative is designed to offer greater flexibility and reduce the pressure associated with a single high-stakes examination.
