The wait is finally over for 14 lakh students in the country. The Central Board of Secondary Education has announced the results on its website, and this year the board has clocked in a record high pass percentage.
Almost all students have cleared class 12 results. Of the 13,04,561 candidates who registered, 99.37% have cleared the examination. Over 1.5 lakh students have got marks above 90, which is about 11.1%.
About 5.37% of students have got more than 95% marks in CBSE. So while the number of 90% scorers is roughly the same as last year, but the number of students in 95-100% bracket is almost double.
Girls have done better than boys. The pass percentage among girls is at 99.67% while among boys it is at 99.13%. Even though the results for both girls and boys is over 99%, girls have performed slightly better (0.54%) than boys.
This is the first time that CBSE has declared results without holding any board exams, due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year, class 12 results have been computed based on the performance of students in class 12 internals, class 10 finals, and class 11 finals.
After much debate, the formula was finalized by the board for this year and a new assessment formula has been created for the 2022 batch as well.
CBSE will not release a merit list this year. The merit list usually has top-scoring students who make it to the top 0.1% of scorers.
If you took your board exam this year, here's how you can check your results.

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear a plea seeking a special investigation into the Pegasus snooping controversy. Chief Justice NV Ramana on Friday said that the petition may be heard next week depending on the&nbsp;work load.
Senior journalists N Ram and Sashi Kumar had sought a Special Investigation Team headed by a sitting or a former judge into the snooping allegations.
Reports that Pegasus spyware was used to hack into the phones of politicians, journalists, activists and government have triggered a massive outcry and demand for probe.
Opposition has been stalling Parliament for two weeks now over the issue. The government has rubbished the reports and has denied any role in the Pegasus snooping scandal.

Sawant triggered outrage when he tried to pin the blame on the parents asking why were the girls out on beach so late. The CM had added that it was the parents' duty to ensure the safety of their children, and that the girls should not have been allowed to leave home at night, particularly as they are minors.
The chief minister on Friday clarified that his remarks were taken out of context. "Both as head of a responsible Govt &amp; as a father of a 14-yr-old daughter, I was deeply pained &amp; disturbed," Sawant stated. He added that at no point, he tried to deny the right to security provided by our law to the citizens.
The comments triggered outcry from the opposition, who have demanded Pramod Sawant's resignation and said Goa has become more dangerous for women under BJP rule

Kuturakenda village in Odisha's Titlagarh is surrounded by three streams and is cut off every monsoon due to rising water levels. The administration has been promising a bridge to the villagers for long. But it never materialised. Fed up with the administrative delays, the villagers have started building&nbsp;a wooden bridge themselves to avoid being marooned again.
In a video shared by news agency ANI, the villagers are seen working on the wooden bridge. They say that streams swell up during monsoons and it becomes difficult for villagers to access basic facilities such as schools and healthcare.
They add that the govt promises a bridge every year, but to no avail. Shamed by the villagers' efforts, the administration has lauded the initiative and has again promised a permanent bridge.
