It was for the second time that board did not announce the merit list. The board discontinued announcing the merit last from 2018. “We have given up declaring the merit list to bring down pressure among the students so that they can study without fear,” said BL Chudhary, chairperson of RBSE.

“In addition it will also bring down the competition between different private schools which earlier used to attract students displaying big hoardings showcasing board toppers,” he said.

In 2017, the overall pass percentage in Science was 90.36 while in Commerce it was 90.88%. While 89.21% of boys and 93.3% girls passed in Science, 88.56% boys and 95.27% girls passed in Commerce last year.
