Introduction

The CBSE and PSEB boards gave the Class 12 results for 2026. Fewer students passed the CBSE exams this year.

Main Body

In the CBSE exams, 85.20% of students passed. This is lower than last year. More girls passed the exams than boys. Thiruvananthapuram had the best results, but Prayagraj had the worst. Teachers used a new computer system to mark the tests. Some people think this system caused the lower scores. Other people say the tests are now harder because students must understand the ideas better. In Punjab, the PSEB results were better. 91.46% of students passed. Again, girls did better than boys. Other boards in Haryana and Maharashtra also finished their tests.

Conclusion

The 2026 exams used new computers and harder rules. Because of this, CBSE scores went down.

1. The "-er" Pattern

  • Low →\rightarrow Lower
  • Hard →\rightarrow Harder
  • Better (This is a special change from 'good')

2. The "More/Fewer" Pattern

  • More girls passed (a larger number)
  • Fewer students passed (a smaller number)
