The Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) announced the Class 12 board examination results for 2025 on Tuesday, bringing a wave of excitement and relief for lakhs of students and their families across the country. This year, the overall pass percentage stood at 88.39%, reflecting stable academic performance across regions.

Telangana and Andhra Pradesh Lead the Way

In a remarkable display of academic excellence, Telangana topped the charts with a pass percentage of 99.73%, followed by Andhra Pradesh at 99.51% and Kerala at 99.32%.

Among Union Territories, Lakshadweep recorded a perfect 100% pass rate, emerging as a standout performer.

No Official Toppers, But Girls Take the Lead

Following the policy introduced last year, CBSE has discontinued the practice of declaring individual toppers for both Class 10 and 12 examinations to reduce unhealthy competition. However, performance trends speak volumes:

Girls outshone boys, recording a pass percentage of 91.64% compared to 85.70% for boys.

In a notable achievement, transgender candidates secured a 100% pass rate, up from 50% last year.

High Achievers and Compartment Stats

A total of 1,11,544 students scored above 90%, while 24,867 students crossed the 95% mark. Meanwhile, over 1.29 lakh candidates have been placed in the compartment category, who will have another opportunity to improve their scores in the upcoming supplementary exams.
