‘Mazak horeya hai?’ CBSE, students react as class 10 results declared

The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE), on Tuesday, declared the class 10 board exam results on their official website – cbseresults.nic.in. Over 57,000 students scored above 95% marks, while the number of candidates scoring between 90 and 95% went up to over two lakh, according to the board. This year, CBSE achieved the highest ever pass percentage of 99.04% with girls outshining boys by a slender margin of 0.35%.

The 10th board exams, scheduled to begin from May 4, were cancelled due to the second wave of COVID-19. The results were prepared on the basis of an alternative means of assessment. 

It was around 10:30 AM that CBSE announced that the results will be announced in one hour – 12 noon on August 3. This announcement took students and parents by surprise. And after the results were announced, people were overwhelmed with the steep spike in marks.

The number of students scoring above 95% marks in 2020 was less than the 2019 figure of 57,256. Similarly, the number of students who scored above 90% had also decreased from about 2.25 lakh in 2019 to almost 1.84 lakh in 2020. The board had achieved the same feat in class 12 results declared last week where over 99.37% of students passed.
