Having achieved a remarkable overall pass percentage of 92.06, the Chennai region has finished on top in the Central Board of Secondary Education's Class XII examination. Like last year, the Ajmer region bagged the second position with a pass percentage of 86.93, Delhi came third with 84.25, followed by Panchkula, Allahabad and Guwahati.

Girls have performed better, with a pass percentage of 94.06, compared to boys who have a pass percentage of 90.4. A total of 822 schools in the Chennai region had students appearing for the CBSE examination.

The CBSE does not have a ranking system, but assigns grades based on a nine-point rating scale, explained N. Nagaraju, regional officer of the Board's Chennai region. In every subject, the top 1/8th of the successful students are assigned A1 grade. The next 1/8th are assigned A2 and so on. Below 33 per cent is given an E grade, which is considered as fail, he said.

The performance of students could be analysed only at the school-level as there was no overall ranking system in CBSE.
