Students awaiting the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Class 10 second board examination results may not have to wait much longer, as the board is expected to announce the scorecards soon. However, CBSE has not yet confirmed the exact date and time for the declaration of results.

More than 6.8 lakh students reportedly appeared for the optional second board examinations conducted from May 15 to May 21, 2026, under the newly introduced two-exam system for Class 10 students. The results are expected to be published on the official portals, including cbseresults.nic.in and cbse.gov.in.

How to check CBSE Class 10 second board result 2026

Once announced, students can access their scorecards by following these steps:

1. Visit the official CBSE result website, cbseresults.nic.in.
2. Click on the ‘Secondary School Examination Results 2026 – Phase II’ link.
3. Enter the required credentials, including roll number, school number and admit card ID.
4. Submit the details to view the result.
5. Download and save the scorecard for future reference.

Apart from the official websites, students will also be able to access their marksheets through DigiLocker and the UMANG application. Some reports also suggest that results may be available through SMS services.

Better score to be considered in final marksheet

CBSE has adopted a “best-of-two” policy under the new examination framework. This means that for students who appeared in both phases, the higher score obtained across the two examinations will be considered for the final marksheet and certificate.

The second board examination was optional and primarily intended to offer students an opportunity to improve their performance without waiting for a separate improvement examination cycle.

Students are advised to regularly check official CBSE websites for authenticated updates regarding the result announcement.

According to PM Modi, the discussions centred on the role of digital public infrastructure in expanding financial access and improving the quality of life for citizens.

He also reiterated India’s commitment to sharing its experience and best practices in digital public infrastructure and financial inclusion with partner countries across the world.

BJP Rajya Sabha MP and former AAP leader Raghav Chadha on Thursday intensified his attack on Punjab Chief Minister Bhagwant Mann, demanding his resignation over the ongoing controversy surrounding a purported video linked to the Punjab leader.

Chadha alleged that recent developments in the investigation have exposed attempts to suppress the truth by using a fabricated forensic report. His remarks came after Haryana Police registered a case and arrested individuals accused of trying to arrange a fake forensic report connected to the controversial video.

The controversy centres on a purported video allegedly showing a person resembling Bhagwant Mann engaging in objectionable acts in the presence of images of Sikh gurus and Jarnail Singh Bhindranwale. The issue had earlier drawn criticism from Sikh religious bodies, with the Akal Takht declaring Mann “guru dokhi” and “Khalsa panth virodhi”.

Questioning Mann’s continuation as chief minister, Chadha claimed that the alleged attempt to procure a fabricated forensic report had removed doubts over whether the video was genuine, manipulated or AI-generated. He also sought a wider probe into the alleged conspiracy, asking investigators to examine whether government officials or public funds were involved in obtaining the report.

According to police, two people have been taken into custody in connection with the case. Investigators are probing allegations that the accused were approached to procure a forged forensic analysis of the video. Police have also indicated that the suspects were not associated with any government-recognised forensic laboratory.

Bhagwant Mann has rejected the allegations, maintaining that the video was fabricated and asserting that technology, including the possible use of masks, was employed to create misleading footage. The Punjab Chief Minister has accused political opponents of using the issue for political purposes.

The controversy has further sharpened political tensions in Punjab, with opposition parties and Sikh organisations stepping up demands for action against the chief minister.
