While the council recently debunked viral social media claims regarding an April 22 release, officials have indicated that the evaluation process is in its final stages. Approximately 2.6 lakh students who appeared for the exams held between February 17 and March 30 are now awaiting their marks, which will be accessible through multiple digital platforms, including official websites, SMS services, and DigiLocker.

CISCE will also issue digital versions of marksheets and passing certificates through DigiLocker, which are legally valid for Class 11 admissions.

  • Log in to the DigiLocker portal or app using your Aadhaar-linked credentials.

  • Search for "Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations" under the education category.

Important Post-Result Information

The online result is considered a provisional marksheet. Original physical certificates and marksheets will be dispatched to respective schools several weeks after the online declaration. Students who are dissatisfied with their results can apply for a re-evaluation or rechecking through the official portal. This window typically opens within a few days of the result announcement. Notably, CISCE has discontinued compartment exams in favour of "Improvement Exams," allowing students to appear for up to two subjects to improve their scores later in the year. CISCE Class 10 and 12 Result 2026: CISCE Likely To Declare ICSE and ISC Exam Results by April 30.
