In 2018-19, government, private and other CBSE-affiliated schools had a very low percentage of students who passed Class 12. On the other hand, Kendriya Vidyalayas (KVs), Jawahar Navodya Vidyalayas (JNVs) and APS schools showed a difference of 10 percentage points compared to the government and other schools.

The board, however, recorded the highest pass percentage after COVID-19. The significant rise in the pass percentage may be because the board exams were held in online mode and the assessment criteria was lenient. By 2020-21, almost all schools showed a result with more than 99% students passing the exam. Whereas, the CBSE Class 10 results 2023 also increased by around 25 percentage points in two years.
