CBSE announces Class 10 seconds board results with 96.8% pass

India Jul 19, 2026

CBSE just released the Class 10 Second Board results, and the overall pass percentage has jumped to 96.8% when you count both the main and second exams together.

Out of 5.1 lakh students who took this improvement exam, about 60% actually managed to score higher than they did in their first attempt (definitely a boost for those aiming for better marks).

CBSE compartment pass rises to 52.4%

The compartment category saw some good news too: 52.4% of students passed, up from last year's 48.7%.

Thanks to CBSE's new two-board system (introduced under NEP 2020), students get a second shot at the exam if they want to improve their scores: their best result counts on their final marksheet.

Results are available on DigiLocker, and CBSE has shared results with schools via email.
