CBSE opens Class 12 supplementary admit cards
CBSE has now moved the 2026 Class 12 supplementary exam into the final stage. On 21 July 2026, the Board issued the admit-card notice. On 22 July 2026, it also released the practical-examination guidelines for the supplementary cycle. If you are appearing for the Class 12 supplementary exam, this is the update to check first.

## What changed
The important change is simple: CBSE has started the admit-card and exam-prep process for the Class 12 supplementary exam, and it has also told schools how practical examinations will be handled in this cycle. This matters for students whose result was marked compartment, and for schools that still have practical or project work to complete. The Board has already said the supplementary process is online and time-bound. No offline request will be accepted after the deadline. (cbse.gov.in)
CBSE’s post-result system has three parts: verification of marks, photocopy of answer books, and re-evaluation. The Board says these are linked steps, and the schedules are released after results. That is why the supplementary admit-card notice is relevant now: it means the exam cycle is active and students should not wait for schools to remind them. (cbse.gov.in)

## What you must do next
1. Download and check your admit card now. CBSE has already issued admit cards for the 2026 supplementary exam. If your name, subject, or photo is wrong, contact your school immediately. The official circular page is here: `https://www.cbse.gov.in/cbsenew/examination_Circular.html`. (cbse.gov.in)
2. Read the practical-guidelines notice if you still have practical work pending. CBSE released separate instructions on 22 July 2026 for practical examinations in the supplementary cycle. Schools should follow that notice for dates and uploads. (cbse.gov.in)
3. If you were waiting for post-result options, check whether your window is already closed. For Class 12, the verification and re-evaluation portal was open only from 2 June to 6 June 2026. CBSE said no offline application would be accepted after that. (cbse.gov.in)
4. Use only the official CBSE portal for any remaining process. CBSE says the three post-result steps are online and linked. Do not rely on forwarded screenshots from school groups. (cbse.gov.in)
## Who this does NOT apply to
This update does not apply to Classes 9, 10, or 11 students who are not appearing in the Class 12 supplementary exam. It also does not change Class 10’s second-board exam result process, because CBSE already announced that separately. If you are a regular Class 12 student who passed all subjects in the main result, you do not need the supplementary admit card notice. And if your issue is a Class 12 post-result request, remember that CBSE’s verification and re-evaluation window for this cycle has already closed. (cbse.gov.in)
