Similarly, in Class XII, 91.54 per cent girls cleared the exams, while the pass percentage of boys remained 89.45 per cent. CBSE Bhubaneswar Regional Officer (RO) K Srinivasan termed the results satisfactory.

“Despite adverse impact of the pandemic on students and faculties, the pass percentage of the region has remained more than 90 per cent in both Class 10 and 12,” Srinivasan said.
The RO said CBSE has done away with issuing rank list to prevent unhealthy competition among the students, the RO Said.

"Though I was expecting more marks, I am happy with the results. I will prepare for both JEE and NEET," said a Class XII student from Bhubaneswar who secured 97 per cent in the exam.
“Preparation for the exams was indeed a challenge for the students this year. They required to attend classes either in online or offline mode as per the demand of the situation in view of the pandemic. The offline classes were also held for less than four months,” said teacher of a private English medium school.

For the first time the Board announced both class 10 and 12 results on the same day.
