Bhumi Sawant De from DAV Chandigarh stood second with 99.4% and Aditya Jain from Bhawan Vidyalaya Chandigarh secured the third position with 99.2%. While Raksha has said that she wants to pursue political science from Delhi University from preferably SRCC or Lady Shri Ram College, Aditya is trying for St. Stephens College.
All India pass percentage is 82 percent as compared to 83 last year. Also, girls have managed to outshine girls by securing a pass percentage of 87.50% while the pass percentage for boys is 78%. The CBSE results were declared after the Delhi High Court ordered the board to continue with the moderation policy as scrapping it would be “unfair” to the students.
