CBSE will not be releasing a merit list in an effort to prevent unhealthy competition among the pupils. In that context, the board will also refrain from giving students first, second, or third division.
However, it will only award the merit certificate to the 0.1% of students who received the top grades in each subject.
Students will be able to check their results on the official website: cbseresults.nic.in and results.cbse.nic.in.
Students can also check their results on the DigiLocker or UMANG app.
