For regular students in India: The official statement said that this year, performance of the students in the main examinations will be made available in their DigiLoker account and the final result will be declared after the conduct of Second Board Examinations. The grading will also be calculated by combining the result of both Main and Second Board Examinations.
It said that to avoid the problem of accessing the DigiLocker, CBSE has provided the PIN to the schools in advance, to be given to the candidates ahead of the result declaration. Students can log in to their DigiLocker either by using their PIN or with their Aadhaar number. Further, the board will supply Printed Mark sheets cum Passing Certificates to the students through their schools only after second Board Examinations.
For regular students in foreign countries: Foreign students can also get their digital documents on their emails through the CBSE DigiLocker page. Their Printed Marksheets cum Passing Certificates will be supplied through their schools.

Except for the students of the Regional Office, Delhi East and Delhi West, printed documents will be sent to the address given in the examination form. For the students of Delhi East and Delhi West, printed documents will be available at the examination centre from where they have appeared in the examinations.
As per the earlier decision of the board to avoid unhealthy competition amongst the students, no merit list is declared by the CBSE.
The official statement said that the board does not award first, second or third divisions to its students. However, the board will issue the merit certificate to top 0.1 per cent of students who have scored the highest marks in the subjects. The Merit certificate will be made available in the Digi-Locker of the student concerned after second Board exams.
