The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) is likely to declare the Class 12 board exam results earlier than usual this year, with strong indications pointing towards a release by April 30, 2026. The quicker timeline is largely due to the implementation of the On-Screen Marking (OSM) system, which has significantly reduced the evaluation duration. 

Once the results are officially announced, students will have multiple options to access and download their scorecards, making the process smooth and accessible across different platforms.
