In a significant update, the board has introduced a new marksheet-cum-certificate format this year. For the first time, students will receive a single consolidated document that includes their photograph along with a unique QR code for instant digital verification through the official board application. Previously, the board issued separate documents — a marksheet at the time of result declaration and a certificate several months later — neither of which featured photographs or QR-based verification.
Additionally, the format of students’ names on the document has been revised to align with the Aadhaar card format. This replaces the earlier naming convention where the surname appeared first, followed by the student’s name and then the father’s name.
The marksheets released online are provisional in nature. Students are required to collect their original documents from their respective schools once the board dispatches the hard copies. The final marksheet will include detailed subject-wise marks obtained by each candidate.
The announcement marks a key academic milestone for lakhs of students, with the updated format expected to enhance transparency and ease of verification in official records.
