Top honours rested with students from Delhi-NCR as the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) declared results to the class 12 board examinations on Monday with girls extending their successful run and outscoring the boys yet again.
The overall pass percentage was marginally lower at 82% as against last year when 82.70% students passed the crucial exam, key for bagging seats in the country's top colleges.
The pass percentage of girls was 87.57, significantly higher than the boys' 77.77%. In Delhi too, girls emerged on top with a pass percentage of 90.87. The overall pass percentage in the national capital was 86.13%. Thiruvananthapuram region in Kerala registered the highest pass percentage at 95.41.
M Gayatri, a student of the New Green Field School in Saket, emerged the all-India topper scoring 99.2% in the commerce stream.

The second rank was shared by Mythili Mishra from Amity International School, Noida and Saurabh Bhambri of KR Mangalam World School in Greater Kailash II with both scoring 99% in humanities. unlike last year when top ranks went to students from the science stream, toppers in most Delhi schools were from commerce and humanities.
It is likely to push upwards, the cut-off for these subjects in the Delhi University colleges admissions to which begin on May 28. The number of students scoring a perfect 100 in mathematics and physics too came down.
"Assessments have become a challenge and this is creating a lot of anxiety among students. The students getting 90-95% still think they have not got high marks and the cut-off gets pushed higher," said Ameeta Wattal, principal of Springdales School, Pusa Raod.
