Last year only 83% of the candidates passed, N Nagaraju, joint secretary, CBSE (Chennai region), said, while releasing the results on Wednesday.

"Since the CBSE adopted the High Order Thinking Skills concept this year, schools began to prepare students much earlier. With OBC reservation in higher education, students realised that they needed to perform better to get into professional courses," said C Sathish, principal, DAV Boys Senior Secondary School, Gopalapuram. With students complaining about tough questions in mathematics and chemistry, the evaluators showed leniency.

This year’s pass percentage is the highest recorded among students who have appeared through regular schools since 1994 in the Chennai region. Three years ago, the pass percentage was 90.1%, and in 1994 a record 96.86% of the candidates passed the examination.

The CBSE does not rank students on merit or mention aggregate scores in the mark sheet. Instead, it adopts a grading system. No student has been declared the official topper, although individual schools came up with lists of students who scored above 480.
