School-wise Performance Analysis: JNVs Lead the Way

Region-wise Performance: Delhi-East Shows Strong Results
The Delhi region demonstrated strong academic performance in the CBSE Class 12 examinations. According to the data, 308,105 students from the board's Delhi region registered for the Class 12 board exam, of whom 306,733 appeared and 291,962 passed. The pass percentage for the Delhi region stands at an impressive 95.18%, significantly higher than the national average.
This regional performance highlights the quality of education and preparedness of students in the national capital region, setting a benchmark for other regions to follow.
Introduction of Relative Grading System
From the academic session 2024-25 onward, CBSE has introduced a 'Relative Grading' system, aimed at reducing academic stress and unhealthy competition among students. Unlike the previous fixed grading model—which allocated grades based on specific mark ranges (such as 91-100 for A1, 81-90 for A2)—the new system assesses a student's performance in comparison to their peer group.
As a result, the cutoff for each grade may vary depending on subject-wise performance trends and the number of passing candidates. This progressive approach is expected to create a more balanced evaluation system that considers the overall performance landscape rather than rigid mark brackets.
