Digital Evaluation Implemented for Over 9.8 Million Answer Sheets; Supplementary Exams Set for July
NEW DELHI – The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) officially declared the Class 12 board examination results on Wednesday, reporting an overall pass percentage of over 85 per cent. While the results reflect a high level of academic achievement, the board noted a slight dip of three percentage points in the pass rate compared to the previous year.
Performance Metrics and Gender Trends Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj confirmed that girls have once again outperformed boys. The pass percentage for female candidates stood at 88.86 per cent, significantly higher than the 82.13 per cent recorded by male candidates. Notably, transgender candidates achieved a perfect 100 per cent pass rate this year.
In terms of high achievers, 94,028 students (5.32% of examinees) scored 90 per cent and above, while 17,113 students (0.97%) secured the prestigious 95 per cent and above bracket. However, the number of students placed in the compartment category saw an increase, rising to 1,63,800 students (9.26%) compared to last year’s 7.63 per cent.
