CBSE Grade 12 results out: High marks, mixed emotions among UAE students; schools await tallying scores
Excitement and relief filled the air across homes and schools in the UAE today as the Class 12 board results were announced.
Many students are celebrating impressive scores, though schools are yet to receive their results.
The news of the result release spread quickly on Tuesday morning, prompting students to rush online to check their scores. However, a few students faced brief technical glitches while trying to log in.
This year's board exams wrapped up on March 18, and while the initial results are now available online, students are reminded that these are provisional.
Official mark sheets will be issued by respective schools and will be essential for university applications and other formal procedures.
Speaking to Khaleej Times, Pramod Mahajan Principal, Sharjah Indian School, said, 'Student wise, candidates have started receiving their results. They are logging onto Digilocker to get their results. However, schools haven't started receiving the results. Once we start getting the results we will start tabulating at our level.'
To pass the CBSE Class 10 and 12 exams, students need to score at least 33 per cent in each subject and overall. Those who narrowly miss the mark may still benefit from grace marks.
Students who do not meet the passing criteria in one or two subjects will have another opportunity; the board will conduct compartment exams in July 2025. The application process for these exams is expected to begin shortly.
Some schools who've received their results highlighted their outstanding pass rates.
Deepika Thapar Singh, Principal & CEO, Credence High School, Dubai said, "We are proud to share that Credence High School has once again achieved a 100 per cent pass result in the CBSE Grade 12 Board Examinations."
Our children have done well, and most importantly, they have done so with integrity, resilience, and a sense of purpose. These results are a reflection not just of academic achievement but of their journey as confident, compassionate, and future-ready individuals," she added.

UAE citizens can use smart gates at New Zealand airports from June 1
From June 1, UAE citizens can use smart gates upon arrival and departure at all airports in New Zealand. To use the smart gates, citizens have to meet certain requirements: Such smart gates have been in place in UAE since a few years. They use biometric tech, a mix of facial and iris recognition, to allow passengers to check in without the hassle of taking out identification documents. However, it is essential to keep your boarding pass and passport ready in case they are needed, as Khaleej Times earlier reported. If the smart gates do not let you in, there is always the option of going back to the immigration counters. The smart gates are designed to minimise wait times and reduce winding queues.

Eid Al Adha 2025 in UAE: Prayer timings across Emirates revealed
UAE residents are gearing up for a four-day break to celebrate the Islamic festival of Eid Al Adha. More than just a public holiday, the festival holds deep spiritual significance for Muslims. It is observed a day after Arafah, the holiest day in Islam, and is marked by prayers, celebrations, and festive meals shared with loved ones. The UAE has declared a four-day public holiday for the occasion. The break begins on Thursday, June 5, — the day of Arafah — and continues until Sunday, June 8. Eid Al Adha itself falls on Friday, June 6. This year, the occasion is especially significant for Muslims, as it coincides with Friday (Jumuah) prayers, meaning both the Eid and Jumuah prayers will be held on the same day, each accompanied by a sermon. The UAE Fatwa Council recently clarified that Eid and Jumuah prayers will be observed separately and at their respective times. Khaleej Times analysed the Hijri calendar issued by the Sheikh Zayed Grand Mosque Centre to calculate the Eid Al Adha prayer timings for 2025. Based on these calculations — and the fact that Eid prayers are typically held about 20 minutes after sunrise — here are the likely timings across the UAE: Note: These timings will be updated if needed once official announcements are made. What happens on Eid day? On Eid morning, Muslims dress in their finest clothes and head to mosques or large open spaces called musallahs shortly after sunrise to perform the Eid prayer. These spaces fill quickly with men, women, children, and the elderly, all gathering to offer the prayer in congregation. Prayer areas typically open from the Fajr (dawn) prayer, with the Eid takbir (chants glorifying God) echoing from mosques until the start of the special prayer. After the prayer, the Imam delivers a sermon, and the festivities begin — often starting with warm embraces among family and friends. A key tradition of Eid Al Adha is the sacrifice of livestock, commemorating Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son in obedience to God. The meat is then distributed among family, friends, and those in need, symbolising charity, community, and compassion.
