Compared to 2019 and 2020, the children have performed better this time. In 2019, only 83.40 percent of children could clear the examination, while 88.78 percent had passed in 2020.
On the other hand, Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas have topped this time when it comes to government-aided schools across the country. According to the CBSE board, 98.93 percent of students from the school have passed.
Earlier, the UGC had issued some special guidelines for all the universities in the country. According to this, all the universities were directed not to complete the first-year admission process till the CBSE class 12 board results are out. Now, as CBSE has released the class 12 board result, various universities across the country will be able to complete the first-year admission process.
However, this year, Class 12 marks will not be of any importance for admission to about 100 universities, including all central universities across the country. From this year onwards, Common Entrance Test i.e. CUET exam is being taken for admission in all these respective institutes.
