Introduction
The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) releases Class 10 results as digital scorecards detailing subject-wise marks, grades, and pass status for millions of students across India. These results determine eligibility for higher secondary streams and are accessible via roll number on sites like cbse.gov.in, DigiLocker, UMANG app, SMS, or IVRS.
Checking Process

Scorecard Details
Scorecards include student name, roll number, subject marks (theory + internal), total percentage, division (Pass/Fail), and qualifying status. Each subject carries 100 marks, with a minimum 33% required to pass.
