What is DigiLocker and how do students use it to get their CBSE result?
DigiLocker is a government-run digital document platform — think of it as a secure online locker where official documents issued by government bodies are stored against your Aadhaar number. For CBSE students, it is particularly useful because the board uploads marksheets and passing certificates directly to DigiLocker shortly after results are declared. These documents carry the same legal validity as physical originals.
How to access your CBSE result on DigiLocker:
Go to digilocker.gov.in or open the DigiLocker app on your phone. Sign in using your mobile number linked to your Aadhaar — you will receive an OTP to verify. Once logged in, look for the CBSE section under “Issued Documents.” Your Class 10 or Class 12 marksheet will appear there once CBSE pushes the results. You can download it as a PDF, share it digitally, or present it at institutions — it is accepted as an official document without needing an attested photocopy.
