The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has set the stage for the 2025 Class 10 and 12 board results by releasing DigiLocker access codes on May 6, 2025. This step allows schools to distribute six-digit security PINs to students, enabling them to access digital marksheets and certificates once results are announced. With over 44 lakh students eagerly awaiting their scores, CBSE’s digital-first approach ensures a smooth and secure process.
Understanding DigiLocker Access Codes
Key Points:
- Schools can download student-specific six-digit PINs from the CBSE portal.
- PINs are required to access digital marksheets, passing certificates, and migration certificates on DigiLocker.
- Students must activate their DigiLocker accounts to retrieve results securely.
CBSE’s integration with DigiLocker enhances accessibility, allowing students to store and access their academic documents anytime. Schools are tasked with sharing these PINs with students, ensuring a seamless transition to digital result access.
