Girls continued to outperform boys in both Class 10 and Class 12, with the gap largely unchanged from last year.
The West region topped with 99.85% passing rate in Class 10, followed by South (99.81%) and North (98.86%) and East region (98.84%). In Class 12, the Southern region has the best passing percentage of 99.87% followed by West (99.55%), North (99.05%) and East (98.93%).
CISCE does not release toppers list or merit ranking for ICSE and ISC exams, citing a desire to reduce unwanted stress and competition among students.
