CBSE confirmed that Class 10 Second Board results for the 2026 improvement exam will be posted by the end of June, affecting roughly 6.7 lakh candidates.
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced that results for the Class 10 Second Board (Improvement) exam will be published by the end of June 2026. Approximately 6.7 lakh candidates, including more than 5.25 lakh improvement applicants, are awaiting the outcome.
The board confirmed that the result release will occur on the official CBSE portal (cbseresults.nic.in) and will also be accessible through DigiLocker and the Umang app. The exact date and time have not been disclosed, but the announcement specifies a deadline of the last week of June 2026 [1][3].
Students who applied for the second board examination did so after being dissatisfied with their original scores or seeking higher marks for admission purposes. The board processed applications, conducted the improvement exam, and prepared the result data for online publication [2][4].
Result Announcement Details
CBSE indicated that the results will be posted on its dedicated results website, cbseresults.nic.in, where candidates can log in using their roll number and date of birth. In addition, the board will make the scorecards downloadable via DigiLocker, a government‑run digital document repository, and the Umang mobile application, which provides a unified platform for various citizen services [1][3].
The board’s communication channels include live updates on the CBSE website and social media handles. The CBSE website typically displays a “Result Declared” banner, followed by a link to the result portal. The portal will display individual marks, grades, and the overall percentage for each candidate [2][4].

The second board examination attracted a total of 6.7 lakh applications across India. Of these, more than 5.25 lakh students opted for the improvement route, seeking to replace earlier scores with higher marks [4]. The remaining applicants comprised students who had not previously appeared for the Class 10 board examination and were taking it for the first time [1].
The CBSE’s improvement exam was conducted in multiple sessions to accommodate the large number of candidates. Examination centers were set up in schools and government‑approved venues across all states and union territories, adhering to standard security and invigilation protocols [2][3].
Immediate Implications for Students
The release of the second board results will determine eligibility for admission to higher secondary schools, as many institutions require the Class 10 result for enrollment. Students will also use the scores to apply for scholarships, government schemes, and competitive examinations that consider Class 10 performance [3][4].
Candidates can download their scorecards directly from the CBSE portal, DigiLocker, or Umang. The board advises students to verify their details before printing or sharing the documents. In cases of discrepancies, CBSE has outlined a grievance redressal mechanism that can be accessed through its official website [1][2].
