JOIN USState CBSE schools stand second in Chennai region
As the standard XII CBSE results emerged on Wednesday, Karnataka students recorded a masterly 96.40 pass percentage. Adding punch to this academic feat, the State’s ICSE (standard X) students scored a whopping 99.78 pass per cent. That was not all. A record 99.56 per cent of students cleared the standard XII Indian School Certificate (ISC) examination conducted in March this year. Both the ISC and ICSE examinations are conducted by the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examination (CISCE) Board.
However, despite this performance, the emotions writ large on the faces of those who cleared the examinations were mixed. While some sported smiles, there were others whose body language suggested they were not very happy with their results. A number of students broke down when they saw their marks tally.
As results trickled out at the CBSE and ICSE schools, a steady stream of students and parents crowded the institutions. The flow continued well into the evening, with students thanking their teachers who were effusive with their congratulations.
While some students huddled in small groups discussing their future, others consoled friends who scored poorly.
