The CBSE has advised students to be cautious of misinformation and to rely solely on official sources for result-related updates. Students can access their CBSE Class 12 Result 2025 mark sheets using their roll number, admit card ID, school code, and date of birth. Beginning with the 2024-25 academic session, the board has introduced a Relative Grading system aimed at easing academic pressure and curbing unhealthy competition. Unlike the previous system, which awarded grades based on fixed score brackets (e.g., 91–100 for A1, 81–90 for A2), the new method assesses students in relation to the performance of their peers. As a result, grades are now determined by a student's standing within a subject-specific group, and may vary depending on how many students pass that subject.
