The number of 90% and 95% scorers also increased in comparison to last year. While the number of students scoring 90% and above marks in all subjects increased to 116145 this year from last year’s tally of 112838, those scoring 95% and above also rose from 22622 last year to 24068 this year.
The board attributed the marginal increase in the overall results to the changes made in examination patterns this year.
“This shows the students were well prepared for competency-based question papers as this year 40% competency-based questions were asked in the examinations,” the board said.
