CBSE Class 12th Results 2021

2021 has been anything but ordinary in all respects. The ongoing pandemic has disrupted the working of virtually all institutions and to adapt to this ongoing phase, academic institutions have decided to change their approach toward a previously fixed process of learning, teaching as well as grading and assessments. CBSE is no exception to the situation. After continuously postponing the exams and finally cancelling them, CBSE has released the results of the Class 12th board exams. The result was decided as per the internal and previous year marks of the children. Putting an end to the chaos, CBSE finally released the result on 30th July 2021. So, let’s understand the CBSE class 12th results in detail and focus on the highlights of the result.

CBSE Class 12th Results: Overview

Cancellation of crucial board exams posed a serious challenge for CBSE in terms of determining the results of students. The results were finally derived by this method:

• 40% weightage to the internal assessments of Class 12th
• 30% weightage to marks secured in theoretical papers in Class 11
• 30% weightage to class 10th theory marks

As a result of these policies, 99.37% students passed their class 12th in comparison to the 88.78% in the year 2020. Out of 13,04,561 students, 12,95,813 students have passed this year. It was, again, a huge jump from 2019, with 83.40% of students passing the exams in 2019. This surge in pass percentage can be attributed to the exemption of students from appearing in the exams and weightage of internal assessments, thus eliminating the chances of failure in a subject. 

If we compare the CBSE Class 12th results on the basis of gender, girls outshone boys yet again in passing percentage by a margin of 0.54%. The students of transgender community secured a whopping 100% pass percentage this year with girls reaching a 99.67% and boys at 99.13%.

If we delve deeper into student scores, we find that the number of students scoring over 95% this year is more than twice the number in 2019. In 2020, 38,686 students scored equal to or in excess of 95% marks, which is phenomenal to the 2019 figure of 17,693. Similarly, the number of students who scored above 90% also increased from about 94,000 students in 2019 to almost 1,60,000 lakh in 2020.
