CBSE Grade XII results: Guess how much the toppers scored

The Indian High School students celebrate as they pass Grade XII exams

New Delhi - About 32.2 per cent of IHS students secured a mark of 90 per cent and above in this year's CBSE exams

School students across the country celebrated their success on Sunday as the results of the Central Board of Secondary Education (CBSE) were finally announced, following a delay in release.
For many Class XII students, uncertainty prevailed for more than one week as the CBSE postponed the announcement, but that anxiety soon turned to elation for many, including the UAE's science and commerce toppers.
Indian High School (IHS) Dubai student, Meghna Savit scored 98.4 per cent in the science stream, making it a record for the school - and the highest score declared by schools in the UAE.
"Meghna's impressive score of 98.4 per cent is a record breaking one for IHS students," Ashok Kumar, CEO of IHS told Khaleej Times.
She was among 522 students from her school waiting on the results, and Kumar said they recorded a 100 per cent pass rate in this year's exams.
"'I'm thrilled by the news. Once again our students have shown their mettle. The unwavering commitment and endeavour of our students and teachers have made this possible. I wish all my students a great future and much happiness. May you always shine bright."
Topping the UAE in the commerce stream was 17-year-old Gems student, Smeet Prakashkumar Shah, who scored 98.2 per cent.
The Our Own English High School (Sharjah Boys) student, who was actually in India when the results were announced, said he was not expecting to become the UAE topper, but was proud to hold the title.
Dubai schools maintain positive track record
About 32.2 per cent of IHS students secured a mark of 90 per cent and above in this year's CBSE exams.
And for the past two decades, Kumar said the school has "nurtured a UAE topper" every year.
Alongside Meghna in the Science stream was classmate Hariprasad Chandrasekran, who secured 98 per cent.
After checking his results online at around 10.45am, Hariprasad said he and his parents were "pleasantly surprised" by the numbers staring back at him.
"When I saw the results I text a few friends and told them the good news."
Now moving on to the "next chapter" in his life, Hariprasad said he owes full credit to his IHS teachers and parents, but now the next step is to make a decision as to which university to study at.
