The Rajasthan Board of Secondary Education (RBSE) announced Class 12 results of Science and Commerce streams on Monday.
Girls, with 93.4 and 95.5 pass percentage respectively in the two streams, once again outshone boys whose pass percentage was 90.03 and 89.45.
However, the RBSE did not announce any merit list this year. “The practice will stop competition among schools and will also lessen burden among students,” said board chairman BL Chudhary.
There are many states in the country which do not announce any merit list, he said.
