Andhra Pradesh’s Vijayawada achieved the highest passing percentage in the region, with 99.60 per cent of the students who appeared passing the examination. Prayagraj stood at the bottom in which around 80 percent students passed the examination.

The exams were conducted from 10.30 am to 1.30 pm across 7,842 centres in India and 26 locations abroad. The CBSE had issued strict guidelines to maintain the integrity of the exams. Regular students had to wear school uniforms, while private candidates could opt for light-coloured clothing.

Students were told to arrive at the exam centre at least 30 minutes before the scheduled time and carefully read the question paper instructions before answering. The board has also listed items prohibited inside the exam hall, including mobile phones, Bluetooth devices, earphones, smartwatches, cameras, unauthorized study materials, wallets, handbags, goggles, and pouches. Food and drinks are not allowed, except for diabetic students with prior approval.

Given the increased student commute on examination days, the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) had announced special facilitation measures in partnership with CISF. Students were given priority during frisking and ticketing at metro stations, with additional staff deployed to assist them during peak hours. (ANI)
