On-Screen Marking and What Went Wrong
Some students found blurred or missing pages or mismatched answer books in their scanned copies. CBSE responded by cutting the scanned-copy fee from ₹700 to ₹100 and adding a 'verification of issues observed' step, so problems like a missing page could be fixed alongside re-evaluation of individual questions.

How to Check Your Result
- Go to results.cbse.nic.in, cbse.gov.in or DigiLocker (results.digilocker.gov.in).
- Enter your roll number and the other details asked for (such as school number, date of birth or admit card ID).
- Submit — your subject-wise marks and grades appear.
- Download your digital marksheet from DigiLocker — it is a valid document for college admissions. Printed marksheets come through your school.
What Your Marksheet Shows
- Marks in each subject — theory, practical or project, and total.
- A positional grade for each subject (A1 for the top 1/8th of students who passed, down to D2; E means Essential Repeat).
- No aggregate percentage — colleges calculate your percentage by their own rules. See our grading system guide.
What to Do After Results
- Save your DigiLocker marksheet — you will need it for admissions and counselling.
- Check a surprising mark — get the scanned copy first, then decide on verification or re-evaluation.
- Follow your admission routes — CUET for central universities, JoSAA and state counselling for engineering, MCC and state counselling for medical.
- If disappointed — the supplementary exam is a real second chance, and one result does not define your future.
