CBSE Class 10 Result 2026: Phase 2 Expected June at cbse.gov.in, Compartment, Pass Percentage and Toppers

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) will release the CBSE Class X Result 2026 for Phase 2 (Second Board) in the second week of June 2026 on the official portal results.cbse.nic.in. The Phase 1 result was declared on April 15, 2026 with an overall pass percentage of 93.70%. Over 6.68 lakh students are now waiting for their Phase 2 scorecard.

From the 2026 cycle, CBSE has moved to a two-phase board exam system for Class 10. You can sit for both phases — the better of the two scores in each subject is counted on your final marksheet. To check your result you need your roll number, admit card ID, school number, and date of birth.

• The CBSE Phase 2 result will be hosted on results.cbse.nic.in, cbseresults.nic.in, DigiLocker, and the UMANG app.
• Phase 1 result is already out — overall pass percentage 93.70%, girls 94.99%, boys 92.69%.
• Phase 2 exams were held from May 15 to June 1, 2026 for over 6.68 lakh students.
• You need 33% in each subject and 33% in aggregate to be declared pass.
• The final Class X marksheet shows the better score between Phase 1 and Phase 2 for every subject.
• Failed subjects move to the compartment exam scheduled for July 2026.
• Re-evaluation, photocopy of answer sheets, and re-totalling windows open within a week of the Phase 2 result.

CBSE is the only authority that releases the official Class X marksheet — no third-party portal is authorised to issue it.

In 2025, 93.66% of the 24.12 lakh registered Class 10 students cleared the CBSE board, with girls leading boys by 2.37 percentage points.

CBSE Class X Marksheet 2026: Details on the Scorecard

The online marksheet you download on result day is provisional. The original signed copy is given by your school within 30-45 days. Both copies show the same data — the difference is the signature and the school stamp.

The CBSE Class X marksheet 2026 carries the following information:

• Student’s full name
• Roll number, registration number, and admit card ID
• School name and code
• Date of birth
• Mother’s and father’s name
• Subject names and codes (for both Phase 1 and Phase 2)
• Marks scored in theory and practical for each subject in each phase
• The better of the two scores highlighted as the final score
• Grade for every subject (A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, C2, D, E1, E2)
• Total marks and overall grade
• Result status (Pass / Compartment / Essential Repeat)
• QR code for digital verification

Check every detail on the marksheet the moment you download it. If the name, date of birth, or parents’ name is wrong, raise a correction request with your school within 30 days of the result. CBSE charges a fixed fee for corrections requested after this window.

CBSE Class X Result 2026: Grading System

CBSE uses a 9-point grading scale on the Class X marksheet. The grade you get depends on your position among the passing students in the subject, not just on raw marks alone. The grade table below lists the marks range, the grade letter, and the grade points used to compute your CGPA.

You need at least grade D in every subject to be marked pass. Students who get E1 or E2 in one or two subjects have to sit for the compartment exam in those papers. To calculate your CGPA, add the grade points of your best five subjects and divide by 5. Multiply the CGPA by 9.5 to get an approximate percentage.

CBSE Class X 2026: Best of Two Phases Rule

The two-phase board exam is the biggest change to CBSE Class 10 in years. You take the same syllabus exam twice — once in Phase 1 (February-March) and once in Phase 2 (May). The board picks your better score in every subject and uses that for your final marksheet.

How the rule works in practice:

• You appeared for English in Phase 1 and scored 78. You appeared again in Phase 2 and scored 84. Your final English score is 84.
• You scored 92 in Mathematics in Phase 1 and skipped Phase 2 for Maths. Your final Maths score stays 92.
• You sat only for Phase 2 in Hindi and scored 73. Your final Hindi score is 73.

You do not have to sit for both phases. Phase 2 is optional. If you are happy with your Phase 1 score in a subject, you can skip Phase 2 in that subject. If you want to improve, you appear again. The higher number always counts — there is no risk of your score going down because of a weaker Phase 2 attempt.

The final marksheet — released after the Phase 2 result — combines the better scores into one document. The provisional Phase 1 marksheet you downloaded in April is replaced by this final marksheet.

CBSE Class X Result 2026: Grace Marks Policy

If you fall short of the passing mark by a small margin, CBSE gives you grace marks under its 5% grace marks rule. The rule applies subject by subject.

• Up to 5 marks in one subject if you fail by that margin and are passing in all other subjects.
• Up to 2 marks in two subjects if you fail in two papers by a 1-2 mark margin.
• Grace marks are added silently — the marksheet does not flag them. The result simply shows "Pass".

Grace marks are applied only if they help you pass — not to push a 65 to a 70. They are also not awarded for the practical component; they are limited to the theory paper. CBSE awards grace marks at its own discretion and does not entertain requests for them.

CBSE Class X Compartment Exam 2026

If you fail in one or two subjects after the best-of-two rule is applied, you are not declared a fail — you are placed in the compartment category. You get one more chance to clear those subjects in the compartment exam.

Key facts about the compartment exam 2026:

• The compartment exam is held in July 2026.
• You can appear for a maximum of two subjects.
• If you fail in three or more subjects, you are marked "Essential Repeat" and have to take the next full board cycle.
• The registration window opens within a week of the Phase 2 result.
• The compartment fee is around INR 300 per subject.
• The compartment result is released in August 2026.

Students who clear the compartment exam get a fresh marksheet marked "Pass — Compartment Cleared". Most CBSE schools accept this for Class XI admission as long as you clear it in the July attempt.

CBSE Class X Result 2026: Revaluation, Photocopy and Re-totalling

If you feel your marks are lower than what you actually scored, you can apply for a re-check. CBSE runs three different post-result services. The order is fixed — you cannot apply for re-evaluation without first getting a photocopy of your answer sheet.

Apply only if you are confident there is a clear scoring or totalling error. CBSE warns that marks can go up, stay the same, or even reduce after re-evaluation. The decision after re-evaluation is final and cannot be appealed.

What to Do After CBSE Class X Result 2026

The Class X result is the gate to Class XI. Most schools start their Class XI admission process within a week of the Phase 2 result. Here is what to do once you have your final marksheet in hand.

Step 1: Pick your Class XI stream. Look at your subject-wise scores, your interest, and the cutoffs of the school you want. Most CBSE schools have a 75-80% Class X cutoff for Science (PCM/PCB), 70% for Commerce, and 50-60% for Humanities.

Step 2: Apply to your current school first. Many CBSE schools give first preference to in-house students. The application is usually a single form your school shares.

Step 3: Apply to external schools as a backup. If you want a school change, apply to 3-4 schools as a safety net. Keep printouts of your marksheet, character certificate, and migration certificate ready.

Step 4: Plan for entrance exams. If you are aiming for JEE, NEET, NDA, or NIFT, register for coaching or self-study early. Class XI is the foundation year for these exams.

Step 5: Apply for scholarships. The CBSE Merit Scholarship for Single Girl Child, the NMMS Scholarship, and various state-level scholarships open soon after the result. Most have a one-month application window.
