CBSE Class 10 results declared

The Central Board for Secondary Education (CBSE) on Saturday released the results of Class 10 exams. The results for Allahabad, Chennai, Delhi, Dehradun and Thiruvananthapuram Regions have been declared for now. The CBSE said in its website that the results of the other regions would be declared soon.

The pass percentage for the class 10 exams has fallen to 90.95 % from 96.21 % last year, registering a dip of over 5%.

Students can check the following websites to know their grades:

A total of 16,67,573 candidates appeared for the exams. On May 28, the board declared the results of Class XII exams. It saw a dip of over one per cent in the pass



percentage.

It may noted that the results of Class 10 and 12 exams were withheld after a Delhi High Court order of May 24 asked the board to evaluate the exams in accordance with the marks moderation policy.  The same day, the board sought legal opinion on whether it should challenge the court order. To avoid a delay in the declaration of the results, the board decided not to approach the Supreme Court and the Class 12 results were announced on May 28.

 

To comply with the court order, the CBSE will have to re-evaluate the papers.

The marks moderation policy was basically devised to award grace marks to students who may otherwise fail by falling short of a few marks to pass the exams. It also makes up for difficult question papers or confusing or inarticulate questions, which put students at disadvantage.
