Parinam Manjusha is an online repository that serves as a single source of examination result data. It was designed and executed by the CBSE IT department and merged with the Digi Locker of the National eGovernance Division (NeGD). The portal has results information for board examinees going back twenty-two years, from 2001 to 2022, as well as central teacher eligibility test (CTET) results from 2018 onwards. Students can access and download academic records, and admissions and guidance offices, educational institutions, and recruiting organisations can use them to verify the information. All of the documents contain PKI-based QR codes for authentication and are digitally signed.

Along with the student results, digital copies of academic records such as grade reports, diplomas, immigration documents, and skill certificates can be downloaded.
