The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) wrapped up its 2024–25 academic session board exams, with Class 10 exams held from February 15 to March 18 and Class 12 concluding on April 4.

When Will CBSE Results Be Announced?

While CBSE has not officially confirmed a result date, Class 10 results are expected between May 18 and 20, based on previous years. Class 12 results are also likely to be announced around the same time, as the board typically releases both together.

In 2024, Class 12 results were announced on May 13, while in 2023, it was May 12. The only recent exception was in 2022, when results were delayed until July due to the pandemic.

Pass Criteria

To pass the CBSE Class 10 exams, students must score at least 33% in each subject. In some cases, grace marks may be awarded if a student falls short by one or two marks.

Renowned as India’s leading business school and among the world’s most prestigious management institutions, IIMA offers a range of distinguished programmes, from Ph.D. and MBA degrees to executive and specialised diploma courses designed to foster leadership, innovation, and global business acumen.

While specific details are yet to be disclosed, courses offered by IIMA include Post Graduate Programme in Management (PGP), PGP-Food and Agri-business Management (PGP-FABM), and PGP for Executives (PGPX), all recognised globally for their excellence. 

The Dubai campus will allow IIMA to tap into the region’s diverse talent pool, address the growing demand for management education in the Middle East. By establishing a presence in Dubai, the institute aims to attract international students and professionals.

Meanwhile, the IIMA ranked 27th for Business and Management Studies under Quacquarelli Symonds (QS) World University Rankings by Subject 2025.
