Recent Developments on CBSE Class 10 & 12 Results

Result Declaration Imminent:
The CBSE Class 10 and 12 results are expected to be announced any time now. The result drafting process is reportedly complete, and the board has started issuing official notices about post-result procedures, indicating the results will be released very soon.

No Toppers List This Year:
CBSE will not publish a list of top scorers or a merit list for either Class 10 or 12 in 2025. Results will be declared region-wise, with metro cities typically showing higher pass percentages.

Revised Post-Result Process:
CBSE has introduced a new grievance redressal process. Students must now first obtain a photocopy of their evaluated answer sheet before applying for mark verification or re-evaluation. This aims to improve transparency and help students make informed decisions.

Fact-Check on Viral Notices:
CBSE has officially debunked viral social media messages claiming results would be released in multiple phases or using a “Halfway Grouped Method.” The board confirmed that such claims are false and advised students to rely only on official announcements

How the On-Screen Marking (OSM) System Works in CBSE Exams

Pilot Rollout: For 2025, CBSE is piloting OSM in select “small-volume” subjects to improve speed and accuracy before a wider rollout

Digital Scanning: Physical answer sheets are scanned and converted into digital copies. These scanned answer sheets are then stored securely in a cloud environment, ensuring data protection and controlled access.

Online Evaluation: Examiners log in to a secure portal using two-factor authentication. They access assigned answer sheets on their computers and mark answers directly on the screen, awarding marks for each question as per the marking scheme.

Anonymity and Security: Student details (name, roll number, etc.) are hidden from evaluators to ensure unbiased marking. The system also tracks examiner activity for quality and consistency.

Efficiency and Accuracy: OSM eliminates the need for physical transport and handling of answer sheets, making the process faster and reducing the risk of errors. Automated features like grace mark management and instant analytics further streamline result processing.

Transparency and Record-Keeping: Digital records allow for easy retrieval of answer sheets for re-evaluation or verification. Students may also get access to their evaluated answer books, enhancing transparency.

What is Step-Marking in CBSE Mathematics Papers?

Step-marking is a system used by CBSE in mathematics papers where marks are awarded for each correct step shown in the solution process, even if the final answer is incorrect. This means:

• You can earn partial marks for writing correct formulas, applying the right method, or performing correct calculations at each stage.
• The answer sheet is evaluated step-by-step, so showing your complete working and reasoning is crucial4.
• This approach ensures that students are credited for their understanding and method, not just the final result.

Tip: Always write each step clearly, including formulas and units, to maximize your score, even if you are unsure of the final answer.
