A significant rise in high scorers and a new high in the pass percentage marked the class XII results of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared on Monday. Chennai, Delhi and Ajmer regions retained their first three positions, respectively, and the newly-introduced Bhubaneswar region came fourth, pushing Panchkula to the fifth spot. Results for the Patna region, introduced this year, are yet to be declared.
The dip in pass percentage seen last year was corrected — a new high of 81.71% was recorded, which is an increase of 1.84%.
The number of ''high performers'' has gone up and 21,665 candidates scored 90% and above compared to 16,563 in 2010. The number of candidates scoring 95% and above also reached a new high — rising to 2,097 over 1,202 last year.
All-India topper Dravyansh Sharma from Delhi Public School, Ghaziabad, broke the jinx by becoming the first male topper in three years. Sharma's aggregate of 98.6% (493 out of 500) is also the highest in four years. He is from the science stream and scored a perfect 100 in chemistry and informatics practice. Garima Aneja of Sacred Heart Convent School, Sarabha Nagar, Ludhiana, topped the commerce stream with 98%. She scored a perfect 100 in business studies and mathematics. The performance of differently-abled candidates also improved marginally. Of the 1,599 special candidates, 24 scored 90% and above while two scored 95% and above. The number of special candidates went up by 295.
Despite a marginal dip of 0.85% in pass percentage, Chennai remained on top followed by Delhi (85.45%) and Ajmer (85.05%). Girls raced past boys for the 13th year in a row, with a difference of 9.10 in the pass percentage. Both boys and girls improved their pass percentage by 1.93% and 1.65%, respectively.
Though the number of merit certificates cannot be ascertained at present since Patna region results are not out, according to CBSE officials the number is all set to cross the 10,000 mark and go past 12,000.
Last year, 9,404 merit certificates were awarded. Institution-wise, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya continued to enjoy the highest pass percentage of 96.89% followed by Kendriya Vidyalayas with 93.38%. The overall pass percentage of government schools, however, stood at 83.98%, a drop of 0.51%. Private schools, meanwhile, improved their performance from 79.42% in 2010 to 81.63% this year.
