Thiruvananthapuram's CBSE reign ends as Vijayawada tops Class XII rankings with 99.6% pass percentage.
For the first time since the formation of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) Thiruvananthapuram region in 2014, its 11-year uninterrupted reign at the top of the region-wise Class XII rankings came to an end on Tuesday.
Vijayawada that had been at Thiruvananthapuram’s heels last year broke the latter’s winning streak with a pass percentage of 99.6. It pipped Thiruvananthapuram to second place by a margin of 0.28 percentage points.
The Thiruvananthapuram region had been dominating both Class X and XII CBSE results for over a decade. This time, though, it could not steal the show, though with a pass percentage of 99.32, it was comfortably ahead of Chennai (97.39%).
The CBSE overall pass percentage was 88.39, 0.41 percentage points more than that in 2023.
The Thiruvananthapuram region score was also a dip from that last year when it registered a pass percentage of 99.91 in the Class XII results.
