CBSE Class 12 Results 2026: IVRS and SMS Options for Offline Score Checking The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has announced multiple methods for students to access their Class 12 results for 2026, including Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS), SMS-based queries, and official websites. These options aim to accommodate students without internet access, particularly during high-traffic periods when online platforms may experience delays. The board has emphasized convenience, ensuring results are available through diverse channels to meet the needs of all students. Students can retrieve their scores via IVRS by dialing a designated number provided by CBSE. The process involves following automated voice instructions, entering personal details such as roll number, school code, and admit card ID, and listening to subject-wise marks. This service is typically available for a limited time after results are declared and operates in partnership with telecom providers. IVRS access is extended to major regions including Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, and others, with call charges applied according to the service provider’s rates. For those preferring SMS-based verification, students can send a formatted message to a CBSE-provided number. The exact SMS format and contact details will be communicated by the board on the day results are released. This method allows immediate receipt of scores via text message, offering a swift alternative for students without internet connectivity. Both IVRS and SMS services are described as provisional, with students advised to download official mark sheets from DigiLocker or collect them from their schools for final records. In addition to IVRS and SMS, CBSE will make results available through its official websites and digital platforms such as the UMANG app.#umang_app #cbs_e #digi_locker #ivrs #sms
CBSE clarifies viral 'Rickroll' QR code in Class 12 maths paper, says exam security intact A QR code found on some Class 12 mathematics board exam papers recently sparked online speculation, with some students claiming it led to a "Rickroll" — a reference to a viral internet meme involving a song. However, the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) has confirmed that the question papers are genuine and that their security measures remain intact. The board addressed the confusion after reports emerged on social media platforms like Reddit, where students shared screenshots of the QR code and joked about its unexpected appearance during the exam. The controversy began when students reported that scanning the QR code in their exam centers only displayed simple alphabet markers such as "A" and "Q," rather than linking to external content. This discrepancy led to questions about whether the viral images were part of a limited incident, a technical glitch, or a misleading image shared online. Some students suggested the QR code might have been a harmless design element, while others speculated it could have been a prank or a security measure. In response, CBSE clarified that the QR code was part of its standard security protocols to verify the authenticity of the question papers. The board emphasized that the code was not linked to any external content and that the integrity of the exam materials was not compromised. "The question papers are genuine. The security of the question papers remains uncompromised," the board stated in a notification released after the exam. CBSE also acknowledged the concerns raised by students and parents regarding the QR code.#class_12 #cbs_e #reddit #question_papers #exam_security
