The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is set to announce the Class 10 and 12 Supplementary Results 2025 soon, with expectations pointing to the first week of August, likely by August 5, 2025. Students who took the compartment exams from July 15 to July 22, 2025, for Class 10 and on July 15 for Class 12 can check their results on cbseresults.nic.in or cbse.gov.in. Around two lakh students appeared for these exams, aiming to clear failed subjects or improve their scores. With last year’s pass percentages and trends as a guide, here’s everything you need to know about the results, how to check them, and what to expect!
When to Expect the Results
CBSE conducted the Class 10 supplementary exams from July 15 to July 22, 2025, and the Class 12 exam on July 15, 2025, in a single shift from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. Based on past trends, results are expected in early August, with August 5, 2025, as a likely date. In 2024, results were out on August 2, and in 2023, on August 1. This year’s evaluation is almost done, and CBSE has promised a timely release. Students can access results on cbseresults.nic.in, cbse.gov.in, DigiLocker, or the UMANG app using their roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth. Keep these details ready to avoid last-minute hassles!
Last Year’s Stats and Pass Trends
The supplementary exams give students a second chance to pass subjects they failed in the main exams or to boost their scores. In 2024, about 1.31 lakh Class 12 students appeared for the compartment exams, with 1.27 lakh taking the test. Only 37,957 passed, giving a pass percentage of 29.78%. For Class 10, exact numbers for 2024 are unavailable, but the main exam saw 22.51 lakh students, with a pass rate of 93.60%. This year, with 24.12 lakh Class 10 and 17.88 lakh Class 12 students in the main exams, the supplementary pass rate is expected to stay low, around 30–35%, as papers were rated easy to moderate. Students need at least 33% in each subject to pass.
How to Check Your Results
Once the CBSE Supplementary Results 2025 are out, follow these steps to check your marks:
- Visit cbseresults.nic.in or cbse.gov.in.
- Click on “CBSE Class 10/12 Supplementary Result 2025.”
- Enter your roll number, school number, admit card ID, and date of birth.
- Hit “Submit” to view your result.
- Download the PDF and print it for records.
You can also use DigiLocker or the UMANG app with your registered mobile number and a 6-digit school-provided PIN. If the website crashes, try the Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) by dialing 24300699 with your area code. Schools will provide original marksheets later.
Exam Details and Eligibility
The supplementary exams were held for students who failed one or two subjects in the main CBSE exams (February 15 to April 4, 2025) or wanted to improve their marks in one subject. Class 10 exams covered 84 subjects, while Class 12 included 120 subjects across Science, Commerce, and Humanities. Each exam had a theory paper (80 marks) and internal assessment (20 marks), requiring a minimum 33% to pass. If you fail more than two subjects, you must repeat the year. The results will show subject-wise marks and grades, with no topper list to reduce competition, as per CBSE’s policy. Successful candidates can join the next academic session without delay.
What to Do After Results
After checking your results, download your provisional marksheet and inform your school to collect the original. If you’re unhappy with your marks, apply for verification (Rs. 500 per subject) or re-evaluation (Rs. 100 per question) in August 2025. For Class 12 students, passing the supplementary exam is key for college admissions, as many universities hold special rounds for compartment candidates. Class 10 students can move to Class 11 with cleared subjects. Check DigiLocker for digital marksheets and certificates. If you face issues, contact CBSE at cbse.gov.in or call their helpline. Posts on X show students eagerly awaiting results, with some worried about delays, so stick to official sources for updates.
Tips to Stay Prepared
With results expected by August 5, 2025, keep your login details handy. Activate your DigiLocker account using the school’s 6-digit PIN to access digital marksheets. If you’re planning re-evaluation, save Rs. 500–700 for fees and apply promptly in August. Check cbseresults.nic.in regularly for announcements, as CBSE warned against fake social media claims about early result dates. For Class 12 students, explore CUET-UG 2025 (starting August 15) for college admissions. Class 10 students should prepare for Class 11 subject choices. With pass percentages expected to hover around 30–35%, focus on your next steps—whether it’s higher studies or career planning—and avoid unverified X posts about result dates. Your hard work will pay off, so stay ready!
