Nearly 12 lakh students appeared for the class XII examination held by the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) in February-March. Of them, over 10.59 lakh students passed the exam.

The CBSE did not release the all-India merit list this year as examination for some of the subjects could not be conducted due to Covid-19 pandemic and average marking was done to evaluate the performance of the students.

The Trivandrum region recorded the highest pass percentage at 97.67 whereas the lowest pass percentage was recorded at 74.57 in the Patna region. 

The board has announced the results on the basis of an alternate assessment scheme after the pending exams were cancelled in view of spike in COVID-19 cases. As per the four-pointer scheme, marks have been awarded on basis of marks scored by a student in his or her best performing subjects.

However, the results of 400 students could not be computed as per the scheme and will be announced later, a senior board official said.
