CBSE class 12 results declared: 88.39% students pass, girls outperform boys once again

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared the results for the Class 12 examinations on Tuesday, with a pass percentage of 88.39%, marking a marginal increase of 0.41% over last year.

Girls once again outshone boys, recording a pass percentage of 91%, which is 5.94% higher than that of boys. The CBSE shared the official results and detailed statistics in a press release.

This year, over 16 lakh students appeared for the Class 12 examinations, which were conducted from February 15 to April 4. Of these, more than 14 lakh students passed.

Among all regions, Vijayawada (Andhra Pradesh) registered the highest pass percentage at 99.60%, while Prayagraj recorded the lowest, with around 80% students clearing the exam.

The Class 10 exams concluded earlier on March 18, while both Class 10 and 12 exams were conducted daily from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM across 7,842 centres in India and 26 centres abroad. CBSE had implemented stringent measures to ensure the integrity and smooth conduct of the examinations.

To maintain discipline at exam centres, CBSE mandated school uniforms for regular students and light-coloured attire for private candidates. Students were required to arrive at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time and read the question paper instructions carefully before attempting answers.

The board also issued a list of prohibited items inside the exam hall, including mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, earphones, smartwatches, cameras, wallets, handbags, goggles, pouches, and unauthorized study materials. Food and beverages were not allowed, except for diabetic students with prior approval.

To ease the travel burden on examination days, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC), in coordination with CISF, offered special facilitation measures. Students were given priority during frisking and ticketing, and additional staff were deployed at metro stations to assist during peak hours.
