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.

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

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.

The National Testing Agency (NTA) has released the provisional answer key for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination on its official website, offering candidates an opportunity to review their responses and estimate their scores.

Students who appeared for the re-exam can access the provisional answer key, scanned OMR sheets and recorded responses by visiting the official portal, neet.nta.nic.in. Along with the release, the testing agency has also opened the objection window for candidates wishing to challenge any answer.

According to the NTA, candidates can submit objections online from June 25 to June 28, 2026. A processing fee of Rs 200 per question challenged must be paid while submitting objections. The fee will be refunded if the challenge is found to be valid by the expert panel reviewing the objections.

The agency said all challenges submitted by candidates will be examined by subject experts. Based on their recommendations, the final answer key will be prepared. The results of the re-examination will be declared after the final answer key is published.

The NEET UG 2026 re-examination was conducted on June 21 at examination centres across India and abroad. NTA has said it aims to release the final answer key and results at the earliest possible date.

A NEET UG 2026 aspirant from Nagpur was left shocked after his re-examination admit card reportedly allotted an examination centre in Abu Dhabi, around 2,500 kilometres away from his hometown, raising concerns over possible technical errors in the examination process.

The student, identified as Abdullah Mohammad Talib, is scheduled to appear for the NEET UG 2026 re-examination on June 21. However, when he downloaded his hall ticket, he found that his assigned test centre was located in Abu Dhabi, despite being based in Nagpur.

According to reports, the unexpected allotment has caused significant distress to the student and his family. They pointed out that the candidate does not possess a passport, making international travel impossible within such a short timeframe.

The incident comes amid reports of technical difficulties faced by some candidates while accessing NEET UG 2026 re-examination admit cards. The National Testing Agency (NTA) has previously acknowledged server-related and technical glitches affecting certain students and said its teams were working to resolve the issues.

The NEET UG 2026 re-examination is scheduled to be conducted on June 21, with the NTA having issued fresh admit cards and exam-related advisories for eligible candidates.

The student’s family is now seeking immediate intervention from the authorities to ensure that a suitable examination centre is allotted before the test date.
