Results bring under stress perception of pre-eminence

New Delhi:
Students from private schools have continued to fare worse than their peers from government and government-aided schools in the Central Board of Secondary Education's Class XII exams, whose results were announced on Saturday.

The results appear to belie the popular perception that private schools impart a higher quality of education than government and aided schools.

Some 83.01 per cent of the students passed, up from 82.02 per cent last year, with 88.31 per cent of the girls passing, against 78.99 per cent of the boys.

A total of 1,106,772 students from 11,510 schools took the March-April exams, marred by the leak of the economics paper. The economics exam was re-conducted.

Among the regions, Trivandrum registered a 97.32 per cent pass rate, followed by Chennai (93.87) and Delhi (89). Guwahati (69 per cent) fared the worst. Bhubaneswar, which covers Bengal too, witnessed an 82 per cent pass rate while Patna (Bihar and Jharkhand) recorded 70 per cent.

While 72,599 examinees scored over 90 per cent, 12,737 of them bettered 95 per cent.

Meghna Srivastava from Noida scored a record 499 out of 500 to top the exam while Anoushka Chandra from Ghaziabad scored 498. Last year's topper, Raksha Gopal, had secured 498.

A former CBSE chairperson who did not want to be identified frowned on the recent practice of making the names of the toppers public.

"It's unfair to declare someone the topper on the basis of their aggregate. Science students' aggregate marks cannot be compared with those of humanities students," he said. "Besides, there's a degree of subjectivity in the award of marks."

The pass rate was worst among students from the private schools, which make up 80 per cent of CBSE-affiliated schools. The government and government-aided schools under the board are located in Delhi and the other Union territories.
