The Nagaland Board of School Education (NBSE) is set to declare the provisional results for the High School Leaving Certificate (HSLC) and Higher Secondary School Leaving Certificate (HSSLC) 2026 on the afternoon of April 24. After weeks of evaluation following the exams held in February and March, the board is ready to release the digital scorecards for thousands of students across the state.

This year, the HSLC (Class 10) exams were conducted from February 13 to February 26, while the HSSLC (Class 12) examinations took place between February 12 and March 9. For the first time, students can also expect their digital certificates and migration papers to be linked with their APAAR IDs, ensuring immediate access through DigiLocker.

Eligibility and Passing Criteria

Understanding the eligibility rules is crucial for those planning their next academic steps. To qualify as "Passed," a student must secure a minimum of 33% marks in every subject. The NBSE uses a 9-point grading system where grades E1 and E2 indicate a need for improvement.

For those who miss the mark, the NBSE has significantly expanded its Improvement and Compartmental Exam eligibility. Candidates who fail in up to four subjects are now permitted to reappear in the compartmental exams, typically scheduled for June. This shift aligns with the National Credit Framework to ensure more students have a chance to save their academic year.
