In Tamil Nadu, the pass percentage was above the regional average
at 95.69%, a tremendous achievement compared to that of the
State Board students who registered a pass percentage of 84.4%.
However, the number of CBSE students who appeared in Tamil Nadu
was only 5,315, whereas in the State Board over 5.87 lakh students
wrote the examination.
Last year only 83% of the candidates passed, N Nagaraju, joint
secretary, CBSE (Chennai region), said, while releasing the
results on Wednesday.
"Since the CBSE adopted
the High Order Thinking Skills concept this year, schools began
to prepare students much earlier. With OBC reservation in higher
education, students realised that they needed to perform better
to get into professional courses," said C Sathish, principal,
DAV Boys Senior Secondary School, Gopalapuram. With students
complaining about tough questions in mathematics and chemistry,
the evaluators showed leniency.
This year’s pass percentage is the highest recorded among
students who have appeared through regular schools since 1994
in the Chennai region. Three years ago, the pass percentage
was 90.1%, and in 1994 a record 96.86% of the candidates passed
the examination.
The CBSE does not rank students on merit or mention aggregate
scores in the mark sheet. Instead, it adopts a grading system.
No student has been declared the official topper, although individual
schools came up with lists of students who scored above 480.
