Record High Pass Percentage In CBSE Class 12 Results

CBSE Class 12 results were declared this week and recorded a 99.37 per cent pass percentage - a huge leap from last year's 88.78 per cent. In the absence of written exams due to the ongoing pandemic, CBSE formulated a 40% + 30% + 30% formula to evaluate marks. The formula rewarded consistency, students who performed well in classes 10 and 11 stood to benefit, with over 1,50,000 students scoring above 90 per cent. This year the cut off marks for undergraduate courses are also likely to go higher, with many students scoring over 95 per cent marks in CBSE Class 12 results.
