The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) on Tuesday said that it neither announces any merit list in Class 10 and 12 board exam results nor divisions are awarded to students to avoid any unhealthy competition.
On Tuesday, the board announced the results of the Class 10 and 12 exams.
While more than 93% of pupils passed the Class 10 exams, the Class 12 pass percentage was 88.39%. Girls outperformed boys in both tests.
“As per an earlier decision by the board to avoid unhealthy competition amongst students, no merit list is prepared and declared by CBSE. Also, the board has not awarded first, second and third division to its students,” CBSE Examination Controller Sanyam Bhardwaj said.
“The board will issue merit certificates to the top 0.1 pc students who have scored the highest marks in the subjects. The merit certificates will be available in Digi-Locker of the students concerned,” Bhardwaj added.
Merit lists were also not issued in 2020 and 2021 since the board implemented an alternate assessment scheme after part or all of the papers were cancelled owing to COVID-19. In 2022, the board permanently discontinued the policy.
