CBSE Grade 12 : UAE schools report strong performance
India’s biggest school board shares results today 13th July 2020 at 12 pm
India’s largest school board, the CBSE (Central Board of Secondary Education), on Monday unexpectedly announced the results on its websites, www.cbse.nic.in and cbseresults.nic.in.
The links experienced “technical issues” for some hours after going live. Complete results were also sent to all schools, some of whom in the UAE shared their performance with Gulf News. Results this year were also pushed through DigiLocker, a government of India online service that provides citizens access to “authentic digital documents… legally at par with originals”.
The CBSE said the Digilocker account credentials have already been sent to students via SMS on their mobile number registered with CBSE.
Overall picture
Overall, 88.78 per cent of the 1,192,961 test takers passed the milestone school-leaving board exams this year, which saw delays and the eventual cancellation of some papers due to the coronavirus pandemic.
Once again, girls outshone boys, with a pass rate of 92.15 per cent (almost six per cent higher than boys).
In schools outside India, 94.26 per cent of the 16,043 candidates passed (lower by around one per cent compared to last year).
