The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared Class XII results today. Trivandrum performed best amongst all regions with 97.67% pass percentage followed by Bengaluru region with 97.05 % while Chennai stands at third position with 96.17% pass percentage. Total 11, 92,961 students appeared in the exam out of which 10, 59,080 students passed the exam. Overall pass percentage of this year is 88.78%which is 5.38 % higher than previous year.

The CBSE Class XII Board Examinations were scheduled to be conducted from 15.02.2020 till 30.03.2020. Due to spread of Covid-19 pandemic, CBSE was forced to cancel examinations scheduled from 19.03.2020 to 30.03.2020 in 12 subjects along with examinations in 11 subjects for students of North-Eastern Delhi. These exams were re-scheduled to be held from 01 to 15 July 2020.

Looking at the uncertainties and unprecedented situation and keeping in mind the health and well-being of students, the  Supreme Court of India passed orders on 26.06.2020, approving the assessment scheme of CBSE to compute results on the following criteria:

ASSESSMENT SCHEME

1. For the students of both classes X and XII, who have completed all their examinations, their results  declared based on their performance in the examinations.
2. For students who have appeared in the examinations in more than 3 subjects, the average of the marks obtained in best three performing subjects have been awarded in the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted.
3. For students who have appeared in the examinations in only 3 subjects, the average of the marks obtained in the best two performing subjects have been awarded in the subjects whose examinations have not been conducted.
4. There are very few students of class-XII, mainly from Delhi, who have appeared in the examinations in only 1 or 2 subjects. Their results have been declared based on performance in the appeared subjects and performance in internal/practical/projects assessment. These students will also be allowed to appear in the optional examinations conducted by CBSE to improve their performance, if they desire to do so. Result of these students will also be declared along with other students. **

CHANCE FOR OPTIONAL EXAMINATION

• CBSE will conduct an optional examination in the subjects whose examinations were scheduled to be conducted from 01^st July to 15^th July 2020 as soon as conditions are conducive as assessed and decided by the Central Government.
• Candidates whose results have been declared based on the assessment scheme will be allowed to appear in these optional examinations to improve their performance, if they wish so. Marks obtained by a candidate in these optional examinations will be treated as final for those who had opted to take these examinations.

** However, even based on above criteria, the results of 400 students could not be computed and hence, their results will not be announced today.

CONDUCT OF OPTIONAL EXAMINATIONS

The schedule for taking options from the students who are eligible and the dates of the optional examinations will be announced subsequently in consultation with the Government of India.

CONDUCT OF COMPARTMENT EXAMINATION

CBSE will announce the schedule of these examinations subsequently in consultation with the Government of India.

REPLACEMENT OF TERM FAIL BY ESSENTIAL REPEAT

CBSE has decided to replace the term “FAIL” by the term “Essential Repeat”. Hence, in the result declared no “FAIL” term will be mentioned in the documents issued to the candidates and the result hosted on the website.
