The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the results for the Class 10 and Class 12 board examinations on May 13, 2025. Students can now access and download their marksheets from the official CBSE websites.
This year, a total of 22,21,636 students cleared the Class 10 exams, achieving an impressive pass percentage of 93.66%. Meanwhile, 14,96,307 students passed Class 12, resulting in an overall pass rate of 88.39%.
Alongside the results, CBSE has initiated the second phase of its free psychosocial counselling programme to support students and parents dealing with post-exam stress and anxiety. This round of counselling, which follows a pre-exam phase held earlier this year, will be available until May 28, 2025.
The counselling services are being delivered by a 65-member team of trained professionals, including principals, counsellors, psychologists, and special educators from CBSE-affiliated schools across India and abroad. Out of these, 51 professionals are based in India while 14 are supporting students internationally.
To ensure accessible mental health support, CBSE is offering a variety of resources:
- 24×7 IVRS Helpline (1800-11-8004): A toll-free number providing round-the-clock guidance on managing time, stress, and emotional well-being.
- Tele-counselling (Monday to Saturday, 9:30 am – 5:30 pm): One-on-one support with trained counsellors.
- Bilingual Podcasts and Videos: Available on the CBSE website and CBSE HQ YouTube channel, these resources offer expert advice on exam preparation, coping techniques, and mental wellness.
CBSE encourages students and parents to explore these tools by visiting the ‘Counselling’ section on cbse.gov.in and the official CBSE HQ YouTube channel for more information and support.
