The wait is almost over for lakhs of students who appeared for the CBSE Class 12 board exams in 2026. With the DigiLocker portal already displaying a “Coming Soon” banner for the results, excitement and anticipation are at an all-time high.
When Will CBSE Class 12 Results 2026 Be Declared?
CBSE has not yet announced the exact date and time, but reliable indications suggest the results will be out between May 11 and May 13, 2026.
For context, the Class 12 results in both 2024 and 2025 were declared on May 13. This year too, students can expect the announcement around the same period.
Over 18 Lakh Students Appeared
Approximately 18 lakh (1.8 million) students from the Science, Commerce, and Humanities streams took the Class 12 examinations, which were conducted from February to April 2026.

Important Update: No Official Toppers List
In a welcome move, CBSE will not release an official toppers list this year. The Board has decided against declaring national or regional Rank 1, 2, or 3 holders to reduce pressure and protect students’ mental health.
Instead, students who perform exceptionally well (top 0.1% in individual subjects) will receive digital merit certificates through DigiLocker.
