In the CBSE Class 12 Result 2025, girls continued to outperform boys, recording a pass percentage of 91.64 per cent compared to 85.70 per cent among boys — a gap of 5.94 percentage points. This marks a slight improvement from 2024, when the difference stood at 6.4 percentage points.

Female students have maintained their lead over male students in Class 12 results for at least the past six years. Meanwhile, transgender students recorded a 100 per cent pass rate in 2025, a significant rise from 50 per cent in 2024.

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has said that its on-screen marking (OSM) system is likely to make the evaluation process more accurate and efficient. The Board noted that the digital system will reduce totalling mistakes and limit the need for manual intervention, while also speeding up the assessment process by allowing more teachers to participate.

CBSE added that the new method could remove the requirement for post-result verification of marks. Teachers will also be able to check answer sheets from their own schools, helping them balance evaluation work with their regular academic responsibilities.

The Board highlighted additional advantages, including reduced time and costs related to transporting answer scripts, lower manpower needs for verification, and greater participation from teachers across all affiliated schools, including those located abroad. It also said the initiative supports eco-friendly digital practices.

The Class 12 board exams included a mix of question formats such as multiple-choice questions (MCQs), case-based questions, and source-based questions.

MCQs accounted for 20 per cent of the total marks, while short and long answer-type questions together made up 40 per cent of the overall weightage.

As per the CBSE Class 12 Result 2025 data, 1,29,095 students were placed in the compartment category, making up 7.63% of the total candidates who appeared for the exam.

These students were given a second chance to clear their subjects and improve their overall performance.

Controller of Examinations, Sanyam Bhardwaj informed Shiksha that CBSE Class 12th result will be announced in the third week of May once final preparations are complete.

The CBSE Class 12 board examinations for 2026 were conducted between February 17 and April 10. All exams were held in a single daily shift, beginning at 10:30 AM.
