Your Official Marksheet — Even Before the Physical Copy Arrives
Every year, thousands of CBSE Class 10 students face the same problem: results are declared online, but the physical marksheet takes weeks — sometimes months — to reach them through their school. In the meantime, Class 11 admissions open, colleges ask for proof of marks, and students are left waiting.
DigiLocker solves this entirely. The CBSE marksheet available on DigiLocker is not a photocopy or a screenshot — it is a legally valid, government-issued digital document, issued directly by CBSE. It carries the same weight as the original physical marksheet for all official purposes under the Information Technology Act, 2000.
Whether you need it for Class 11 admission documents, scholarship applications, or simply to share your marks with a coaching centre, the DigiLocker marksheet is accepted everywhere a physical document is.

What You Need to Access DigiLocker
Before you open DigiLocker, make sure you have all three of these ready. Missing any one of them will stop you at a different step of the process.
Aadhaar Number
Your 12-digit Aadhaar number is used to verify your identity when creating or logging into your DigiLocker account. Keep your Aadhaar card nearby.
Registered Mobile Number
The mobile number linked to your Aadhaar. DigiLocker sends a one-time OTP to this number for verification. Make sure you have access to this SIM.
6-Digit Security PIN
A unique PIN provided by your school on behalf of CBSE. This is specifically for first-time DigiLocker access for result documents. Not to be confused with your Aadhaar OTP.
CBSE Roll Number
Printed on your admit card. You will need this when searching for your specific marksheet inside DigiLocker after logging in.
About the 6-digit PIN: This PIN is distributed by schools to their students shortly before or on the day results are declared. If you have not received yours, scroll to the PIN FAQ section below for what to do. Without this PIN, you cannot complete DigiLocker registration for CBSE documents for the first time.
How to Download Your CBSE Class 10 Marksheet from DigiLocker
Follow each step in order. The entire process takes approximately 5–8 minutes for first-time users, and under 2 minutes if you already have a DigiLocker account.
Visit DigiLocker — Website or App
Open your browser and go to digilocker.gov.in, or download the official DigiLocker app from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store. Both routes lead to the same process — use whichever is more convenient. Avoid third-party websites claiming to be DigiLocker; always use the official URL or app.
Click "Sign Up" (New Users) or "Sign In" (Returning Users)
If this is your first time: Click "Sign Up". You will be asked to enter your mobile number linked to Aadhaar. An OTP will be sent to that number. Enter the OTP to verify, then set a 6-character username and a password for your DigiLocker account.
If you already have an account: Click "Sign In" and log in with your existing username and password, or authenticate using your Aadhaar OTP directly.
Enter the 6-Digit Security PIN When Prompted
After basic account verification, DigiLocker will ask for a 6-digit Security PIN to link your account to CBSE records. This PIN is not your Aadhaar OTP and is not generated by DigiLocker itself — it is a unique code that CBSE issues to schools, which schools then distribute to their students.
Enter the exact 6-digit PIN your school gave you. This step links your DigiLocker account to your CBSE examination records so that your marksheet can be fetched correctly.
Go to "Issued Documents" and Search for CBSE
Once logged in and verified, you will land on your DigiLocker dashboard. Look for the "Issued Documents" section in the main menu or navigation bar. This section contains all documents that government bodies have directly issued to your account.
In the search bar within Issued Documents, type "CBSE". This will show you all CBSE documents associated with your account, including your Class 10 marksheet, passing certificate, and migration certificate.
Select "Class X Marksheet" and Enter Your Roll Number and Year
From the list of CBSE documents, select "Secondary School Examination Marksheet" (Class X). You will be prompted to enter your CBSE Roll Number (from your admit card) and the year of examination (2026).
After submitting, your official marksheet will appear as a PDF. You can view it directly in the app or browser, share it, or download it to your device for offline use.
Download Your Passing Certificate Too
While you're in the Issued Documents section, also look for and download your CBSE Secondary School Passing Certificate. This is a separate document from the marksheet and is often required by colleges, coaching institutes, and certain scholarship applications.
Students who qualify for a Migration Certificate can also download it from the same section — useful if you are changing boards or states for Class 11.
Everything You Need to Know About the DigiLocker Security PIN
The 6-digit Security PIN is the single most confusing part of the DigiLocker process for CBSE students. Here are the most common questions answered clearly.
The 6-digit Security PIN is a unique code generated by CBSE for each student appearing in the Class 10 board examinations. CBSE sends these PINs to affiliated schools, and schools are responsible for distributing them to their students — either in person, via a notice on the school portal, or through the class teacher.
This PIN is separate from anything you create yourself. It is not your Aadhaar OTP, not your DigiLocker password, and not related to your roll number. It is purely a one-time authentication code to link your CBSE records to your DigiLocker account.
This is the most common problem students face. Here is exactly what to do, in order:
- Contact your class teacher or school office directly and ask for your 6-digit DigiLocker PIN. Schools receive a list of PINs from CBSE before results day.
- Check your school's official notice board, WhatsApp group, or student portal — many schools post the PINs there or distribute them digitally.
- If your school is unavailable, visit the CBSE DigiLocker portal at cbseservices.digilocker.gov.in — CBSE sometimes provides an alternative authentication path using your roll number and date of birth directly.
- As a last resort, contact CBSE's helpline at 1800-11-8004 (toll-free) with your roll number, school name, and examination year.
There is an alternate route. CBSE also allows students to access their DigiLocker documents using their roll number and date of birth through the CBSE-specific DigiLocker portal at cbseservices.digilocker.gov.in. This route does not require the 6-digit PIN.
Additionally, your marks are also visible on the CBSE official results website (cbseresults.nic.in) using your roll number and date of birth — though the display there is not an officially downloadable document the way DigiLocker is.
If your account is locked due to multiple incorrect PIN attempts, do not keep trying. Wait for the lockout period to expire (usually 24 hours) and then try again with the correct PIN once you have confirmed it with your school.
If the problem persists, contact DigiLocker support via the Help section within the app, or reach CBSE directly at cbse.gov.in for PIN reissuance. Do not create a duplicate account — DigiLocker accounts are linked to Aadhaar and creating duplicates causes further complications.
The PIN is used only once for the initial linking of your CBSE records to your DigiLocker account. Once you have successfully authenticated, the PIN is consumed and you do not need it again. All future logins to DigiLocker use your username and password (or Aadhaar OTP) — not the CBSE PIN.
CBSE PINs do have an expiry window — typically a few weeks after results are declared. If you wait too long to use it, the PIN may no longer work and you will need to use the alternate roll number + date of birth route instead.
Yes, for all practical and legal purposes. The DigiLocker marksheet is issued directly by CBSE with an embedded digital signature under the Information Technology Act 2000. It is legally equivalent to the physical marksheet issued by your school.
Most universities, coaching institutes, and government offices in India accept the DigiLocker version. The physical marksheet your school eventually hands you is essentially a printed version of the same document.
Next Steps Once You've Downloaded Your Result
Downloading your marksheet is step one. Here is what most students need to do in the hours and days that follow:

- Check which stream (Science / Commerce / Arts) your marks make you eligible for
- Understand your subject grades (A1 through E) and what they mean for stream cutoffs
- If you received a compartment, plan your compartment exam strategy immediately
- Begin Class 11 admission applications — most open within days of the CBSE result
