Along with releasing the results of students who appeared for the May/Second Board Examination, CBSE will also make available the final result documents for all Class 10 students. Significantly, the board will issue a single combined document that functions both as the marksheet and the passing certificate, instead of providing two separate certificates.
CBSE's Combined Marksheet-cum-Passing Certificate Explained
For several years now, CBSE has been following a streamlined documentation system by issuing a combined marksheet-cum-passing certificate. The move was introduced to simplify record-keeping and strengthen the digital documentation framework integrated with repositories such as DigiLocker.
Earlier, the board used to provide:
- A separate Passing Certificate
- A separate Marksheet
Now, both documents are merged into a single certificate that serves all academic and legal purposes.
What is a CBSE Passing Certificate?
A Passing Certificateis an official document that confirms a student has successfully completed the examination by securing the required qualifying grades in the subjects they appeared for.
This certificate is extremely important because it is widely accepted as proof of educational qualification and academic completion. The Class 10 Passing Certificate is also used in various legal and administrative processes and, in many cases, serves as a supporting document for age and identity verification purposes. Therefore, it remains one of the most essential records for every student.
What is a CBSE Marksheet?
A Marksheet is an official statement that records the marks obtained by a student in individual subjects.
For example, if a student has appeared in five subjects, the marksheet will display:
- Names of all subjects appeared for
- Marks secured in each subject
- Subject-wise performance details
- Breakdown of marks obtained in theory examinations
- Marks scored in practical or internal assessments
The marksheet provides a complete academic performance record and is used extensively for admissions and educational documentation.
Why Has CBSE Combined Both Documents?
Previously, students had to maintain two separate certificates after the declaration of results. To simplify documentation and facilitate easier access through digital repositories, CBSE introduced a single integrated certificate that performs the role of both the marksheet and the passing certificate.
This consolidated document reduces paperwork, improves document management and ensures easy accessibility through digital platforms.
How Will Students Receive the Document?
CBSE will release the digital copy of the marksheet-cum-passing certificate on DigiLockerimmediately after the declaration of results.
In addition, the board will also send printed copies of the certificates to the respective schools. Schools will subsequently distribute these original documents to students.
Students and parents should note that:
- The digital certificate available on DigiLocker is valid.
- The printed certificate issued through schools is equally valid.
- Both versions are interchangeable and accepted for official purposes.
However, students are advised to collect and safely preserve the original printed certificate issued by the school.
Why is the Combined Certificate Important?
The Class 10 Marksheet-cum-Passing Certificate is a critical document for several future academic and administrative requirements, including:
- Admission to Senior Secondary (Class 11 and 12) programmes
- Admission to higher educational institutions
- Passport applications and documentation
- Educational verification procedures
- Various legal and official purposes requiring proof of qualification and date of birth
Since the certificate is required repeatedly throughout a student's academic journey, maintaining both digital and printed copies is highly recommended.
CBSE Passing Certificate-cum-Marksheet: Details Mentioned on the Document
The combined document will contain the following information:
- Marks obtained by the student in each subject
- Personal details of the student
- Name of the school
- Parent's or guardian's name
- Date of birth
- Board Roll Number
- School Code
- Other relevant identification details
- Details of the grading system followed by CBSE
- Final result status indicating Pass or Fail
- Board seal and authorised signatory's signature confirming the authenticity and validity of the certificate
Migration Certificate
Apart from the marksheet-cum-passing certificate, CBSE also issues a Migration Certificate, if requested by the student. This document is also made available digitally through DigiLocker.
The board does not issue any additional certificates beyond these documents.
What Happens if the Result Changes After Re-evaluation?
In cases where marks change following re-evaluation or verification of results, students are required to return the previously issued documents to the board.
Only after receiving the earlier certificates back does CBSE issue the revised marksheet and related documents reflecting the updated results.
When Will Students Receive the Physical Certificates?
While the digital documents are released simultaneously with the result declaration, the printed copies are generally dispatched to schools within approximately one week of the announcement of results.
Students and parents should regularly monitor the official websites and DigiLocker to download their digital certificates as soon as they become available.
