Amidst the chaos created due to the global pandemic, 13th July, 2020 brought some relief for over 12 lakh students, as Central Board Of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced class 12 results on Board’s official portal. Students can access their results via Board’s official website, http://cbse.nic.in, SMS, IVRS and Digilocker app.
This year, a total of 12,03,595 students registered for CBSE 12th exams, out of which 11,92,961 students appeared and 10,59,080 students passed the exam. A Total of 88.78 percent students have passed this year, which is 5.38 percent more than last year, when overall pass percentage of students was 83.40.
Total pass percentage of boys is 86.19, whereas girls, with pass percentage of 92.15, are leading this list by a considerable margin of 5.96 percent.
In institution-wise performance, Jawahar Navoday Vidyalaya (JNV) has topped the list with pass percentage of 98.70, followed by Kendriya Vidyalaya (KV) with pass percentage of 98.62.
The CBSE has announced that no merit list will be released this year as the results are on assessment basis and not purely on evaluation.
According to CBSE, class 12 results of 400 students could not be computed as per decided assessment scheme, so, their results will be announced later.
Earlier on June 26, 2020, CBSE informed the Supreme Court that the results of pending examinations will be prepared as per the new assessment guidelines. The apex court approved the following set of rules for evaluation of papers in this unprecedented scenario:
• For student who appeared in all the examinations, results will be declared on the basis of their performance in examination.
• For students who appeared in more than 3 subjects, an average of best 3 subjects will be awarded.
• For students who have appeared in 3 subjects, the average of best 2 subjects will be awarded.
• For students who appeared in less than 3 subjects, the result will be calculated based on their performance in those subjects as well as previous assessments and internals.
CBSE has made it clear that if a student is not satisfied with the results or he/she is willing to improve his/her performance, the board will conduct special examination for the same when the situation gets better.
