The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is expected to release the results for the Class 12 board examinations 2026 anytime now, with several signs pointing towards a release as early as tomorrow.

Adding to the speculation, DigiLocker posted an update on social media, on Monday, May 11, stating, “CBSE Class XII Results 2026 Coming Soon on DigiLocker Result Page! Get ready to access your CBSE Class XII Results quickly, securely, and conveniently through DigiLocker.”

The platform has also asked students to check their results at results.digilocker.gov.in once the results are officially declared.

Although CBSE has not yet confirmed the exact date and time of the announcement, the DigiLocker update has intensified anticipation among lakhs of students awaiting their scores.

This year, over 17 lakh students reportedly registered for the CBSE Class 12 board examinations conducted across India and abroad. The examinations began on February 15, 2026, and concluded on April 4, 2026.

DigiLocker, UMANG, SMS options available

Apart from the official websites, students will also be able to access their results through DigiLocker and the UMANG app.

DigiLocker will provide students with digitally signed copies of marksheets, passing certificates, and migration certificates.

Students can log into DigiLocker using their registered mobile number and access documents through the “Issued Documents” section after the results are released.

In previous years, CBSE had also enabled SMS-based result access for students facing issues due to heavy website traffic. Similar alternate methods, including WhatsApp-based services, may also be announced this year.
