The Punjab School Education Board (PSEB) chairman, Dr. Amarpal Singh, has officially announced the Class 12 results for 2026. This announcement follows the conclusion of the examination period, which began on February 17 and ended on April 4, 2026.
Female Students Lead Merit List
Continuing a trend observed in Class 10, the PSEB Class 12 merit list is dominated by female students. Notably, three girls have achieved perfect scores of 100%.
How to Access Results
Students can retrieve their marks through several official channels. The primary method is via the official Punjab board website, pseb.ac.in, where students must log in using their credentials, including their roll number and password.
In addition to the website, results are available through:
- SMS
- DigiLocker
Passing Requirements and Criteria
To successfully pass the examinations, students are required to obtain a minimum of 33 per cent marks, both overall and in aggregate. For subjects that include both theory and practical components, students must pass each section separately.
Next Steps: Supplementary Examinations
Students who fail to meet the minimum passing marks will be required to sit for supplementary exams. While specific dates for the 2026 supplementary exams will be announced following the declaration of the results, students may look to previous schedules for a possible timeframe.
In 2025, for example, the Class 12 supplementary board exams took place from August 8 to August 29, with sessions held in a single shift from 11 am to 2.15 pm. Further details regarding the syllabus and dates may be available on the IE Education portal.

The 2026 results follow a period of high achievement within the board. In 2025, results were declared on May 14, showing a pass percentage of 91 per cent, with Harsirat Kaur of Barnala topping the examination with a perfect score of 100 per cent.
