The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) officially released the Class 12 results for 2026 this Tuesday, sparking a wave of relief and celebration across the UAE. As news of the announcement spread, students quickly flooded the official online portals to access their digital scorecards, even though schools have yet to receive the official physical marksheets. This year’s results are particularly significant for students in the Middle East, as the board had previously made the difficult decision to cancel all in-person board exams on March 15 due to the regional tensions caused by the US-Israel-Iran conflict.

To accommodate the shifting situation, schools across the region successfully transitioned to remote learning and implemented alternative assessment methods for their final-year cohorts. While the provisional digital scorecards available online are sufficient for initial college applications and admissions, students are advised that their original marksheets will be distributed through their respective schools at a later date. In the interim, official digital versions accessible via DigiLocker remain the primary resource for students as they finalize their next steps in their academic journeys.
