Over 18.5 lakh students appeared for the CBSE Class 12 board examinations 2026, the largest cohort in the board’s history. For context, 16,92,794 appeared in 2025 and 17,04,367 in 2024. The year-on-year increase reflects CBSE’s continuous expansion of its affiliated network. The scale of the 2026 cohort, each student producing an answer booklet that must be scanned and digitally evaluated, made the implementation of OSM both more logistically necessary and more structurally complex than in any previous examination cycle.

CBSE does not publish an official Class 12 toppers list. This practice was discontinued after the COVID-19 pandemic and has not been reinstated. Instead, CBSE issues merit certificates to students who rank in the top 0.1% in each individual subject nationally.

CBSE allows students to appear in up to six subjects, but the official Class 12 result is will be calculated based on the best five subject scores. If a student scores low in an optional or additional sixth subject, it will not affect their reported result or percentage. Only the five best-scoring subjects count.

The Automated Permanent Academic Account Registry or APAAR ID is a unique 12-digit academic identity number issued to students under the National Education Policy (NEP) framework. Students who have registered for APAAR will find that their CBSE marksheet is automatically pre-loaded in DigiLocker.

Under this scheme, answer sheets are evaluated digitally. Teachers from Classes 11 and 12 have been assigned evaluation duties and were provided with login credentials in advance to access the online platform.
