The Central Board of Secondary Education has released the Class 10 Board Examination 2026 results, recording an overall pass percentage of 93.70%, a marginal increase from last year’s 93.66%.
Out of 24.83 lakh registered students, around 24.71 lakh appeared for the exams, and over 23.16 lakh students successfully cleared them, indicating steady academic performance nationwide.
Girls once again led the results with a 94.99% pass rate, outperforming boys, who secured 92.60%, while transgender candidates recorded 87.50%.
Among different school categories, Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs) emerged as top performers with an impressive 99.57% pass percentage, followed by Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas (JNVs) at 99.42%. Private schools achieved a 93.77% pass rate, whereas government and government-aided schools stood at 91.43% and 91.01%, respectively.
Students can check their results through official CBSE websites as well as digital platforms like UMANG and DigiLocker by entering their login credentials.
Continuing its policy, CBSE has decided not to release a toppers list to discourage unhealthy competition. However, merit certificates will be awarded to the top 0.1% of students in each subject.
In alignment with the National Education Policy 2020, students will also have the opportunity to appear for a second board examination in May 2026 to improve their scores in up to three subjects.
Reacting to the announcement, Union Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan called it a significant milestone and encouraged students to see their results as part of a broader learning journey.
The Class 10 board exams were conducted from February 17 to March 11, 2026, in a single shift across the country.
