Union Human Resource Development Minister Ramesh Pokhriyal Nishank on Wednesday tweeted that the results for class 10 CBSE board have been announced.

This year a total of 18,73,015 appeared for the board exams, out of which 17,13,121 students cleared the exam. This year the pass percentage stood at 91.46%.

Girls outperformed the boys this year, recording a 3.17% higher pass percentage.

The total pass percentage in CBSE Class 10 exams in 2019 stood at 91.1%.

1.84 Lakh students have scored above 90%, and 41,000 students scored above 95% marks. 

CBSE has decided to not announce the merit list for the board exams this year in view of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic outbreak. Similarly, for the ICSE results which were declared on Friday, the Council of the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE), too, did not release a merit list or a toppers list, citing 'extraordinary situation due to coronavirus' as a reason.

This is the first time that the examination boards are taking such a step.

This year, the board followed the 'revised assessment scheme' to evaluate students and prepare the results.
