While CBSE has not yet confirmed an official result date, the results are likely to be declared between May 7 and May 12, 2025. However, some sources suggest the possibility of an announcement as early as May 2 or as late as May 20. Historically, results have been declared around 1:00 PM IST, and CBSE has dismissed circulating rumors about a May 2 release.
