- Visit Digilocker.gov.in
- Enter your mobile number or Aadhaar number.
- Navigate to 'Issued Documents' and locate the link for 'CBSE Class 10th Results'.
- Enter requested information and download the scorecard for future reference.
The CBSE has also emphasized that three official websites -cbse.gov.in, results.cbse.nic.in, and cbseresults.nic.in—will serve as backups in case one of these sites faces any technical issues. Simultaneous access for over 30 lakh students has been ensured through increased server capacity.
