The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) rolled out new student support services after announcing the Class XII examination results for 2026, combining academic updates with fresh post-result assistance measures.

To help students cope with result-related stress and queries, CBSE introduced a toll-free tele-counselling helpline (1800-11-8004) and an official email support system at resultcbse2026@cbseshiksha.in. The Board urged students and parents to rely only on verified channels, warning against unauthorised contacts.

This year, CBSE recorded an overall pass percentage of 85.20%, a drop of 3.9 percentage points compared to last year. A total of 18,57,517 students appeared for the examinations.

Girls once again led academic performance with an 88.86% pass rate, while boys recorded 82.13%. Transgender students achieved a perfect 100% success rate.

Region-wise, Trivandrum topped the chart with 95.62%, followed by Chennai at 93.84% and Bengaluru at 93.19%. In Delhi, the West region posted 92.34%, while East recorded 91.73%.

Institution-wise, Kendriya Vidyalayas and Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas continued their strong performance, securing 98.55% and 98.47% pass rates respectively.

Alongside the results, CBSE also announced a major academic shift under the National Education Policy 2020. From July 1, Class IX students must study three languages, including at least two Indian languages. The third language will be assessed internally, with no board exam in Class X, marking a significant curriculum change aimed at broader linguistic learning.
