In the case of Class 10, the results dropped from 82.42% to 80.86% since last year.
As per data shared by CBSE, a total of 22,588 students appeared in the Class 12 exams this year and 19,434 passed.
Girls had a significantly higher pass percentage of 89.02% as compared to 83.5% for boys. However, the pass percentage for both plunged from last year when it was 94.97% and 91.05%, respectively.
School wise, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas ranked the highest with a pass percentage of 97.95%, followed by Kendriya Vidyalayas (95.76%), independent schools (93.05%), government schools (82.58%) and government-aided schools (81.90%).

Speaking about this, UT school education director Harsuhinderpal Singh Brar said, “As per our analysis, the performance of government schools is a little better than last year, but we will examine the results in detail. The overall dip in results is also partly because of online examinations during the Covid-19 pandemic.”
