CBSE has declared the Class 12 Supplementary (Compartment) Examination Result 2026. The Board issued its official press release announcing the Class XII Supplementary Examination Results-2026 on 12 August 2026, and the result is now live on the government results portal.
The one thing to get right before you start: check your result at results.digilocker.gov.in, using the Class XII Supplementary link on that page. Several older CBSE result addresses no longer work the way guides still describe — the details are in the table below, and getting this wrong is the most common reason students think the result “is not out yet”.

How to check your CBSE Class 12 supplementary result 2026 step by step
- Open results.digilocker.gov.in in any browser. Type the address yourself rather than following a forwarded link.
- On the CBSE panel, choose the Class XII Supplementary option. There are separate links for Class X and for the Class XII main result, and picking the wrong one returns a blank or “record not found” screen.
- Enter the details exactly as printed on your admit card — roll number, school number, admit card ID and date of birth. A leading zero dropped from the school number is the single most common typing error.
- Submit, then read the subject-wise marks and the overall result status before you close the page.
- Download the PDF and take a screenshot as well. Portals slow down badly in the first few hours after a declaration, and a saved copy saves you a second attempt.
The scorecard you download on result day is a provisional statement. Your school issues the final marksheet and passing certificate, and the digital copy also lands in your DigiLocker account against your Aadhaar-linked mobile number. If it does not appear there, our guide on what to do when a CBSE marksheet is missing from DigiLocker walks through the usual causes.
Why results.cbse.nic.in stopped working
For years, the standard advice was to check CBSE results on results.cbse.nic.in or cbseresults.nic.in. That advice is now partly out of date. Checked on 12 August 2026, results.cbse.nic.in does not resolve at all — the domain itself is gone, so a browser shows a “site can’t be reached” error rather than a slow-loading page. cbseresults.nic.in still responds, but only to hand you over to results.digilocker.gov.in, which is where the result actually lives.
This matters on result day because a dead address looks exactly like a busy server. If you are staring at an error screen and assuming the site is overloaded, you may simply be on an address that no longer exists. Go straight to the DigiLocker results portal, or reach it from the notice on the official CBSE website.
You cleared the supplementary exam — what happens to your admission
A supplementary pass is a full pass. Your Class 12 qualification is complete and you are eligible for undergraduate admission, though the practical problem is timing rather than eligibility. Many university admission rounds and counselling schedules began before mid-August, so the realistic next steps are the rounds still open.
- Ask the colleges on your shortlist about spot rounds, mop-up rounds and any late-admission window — several keep seats open specifically for compartment-cleared candidates.
- Where an application asked you to declare a pending compartment result, update it immediately with the new scorecard. Some portals close that update window within days.
- Check whether the course you want needs a minimum aggregate. Work out yours carefully before you apply — our CBSE percentage and marks calculators do the arithmetic for you.
- Keep an eye on the dates that are still live this month on our Important Dates calendar.
You did not clear it — the routes that are still open
This is not the end of the road, and it is worth knowing the options before deciding anything. You can appear in the next examination cycle as a private or compartment candidate; you can move to NIOS, which allows you to carry forward subjects you have already passed; and you can apply for verification of marks or a scanned copy of your answer book if your score is far from what you expected. Our explainer on CBSE Class 12 scanned answer books and re-evaluation covers how that process works and what it costs. The parallel Class 10 re-evaluation window of 16–19 August 2026 shows how tight these windows usually are, so check your own dates the day the result arrives rather than a week later.
One number is not a verdict on you, and a year taken to finish a subject properly is a normal thing that a great many people have done. If the result has left you feeling that there is no way forward, please talk to someone you trust, or call Tele-MANAS on 14416 — it is the Government of India’s free helpline, available 24×7 in many languages.
Before you enter anything on the portal
CBSE never asks for a password, an OTP, a bank detail or an Aadhaar number to show you a result. All you need is your roll number, school number, admit card ID and date of birth — every one of which is printed on your admit card. Any page, message or caller asking for more than that is not CBSE. Do not pay anyone who offers to “release” or “upgrade” a result, and do not share your admit card image in open groups.
This page also exists in Hindi, with the same result-checking steps.
Always confirm on the official website before acting.
