The Delhi CBSE Class X result is a bit of a mixed bag. The pass percentage, at 60.84%, is up by 1.09% from the last year. Boys’ pass percentage is just 3.1% behind girls’. There are 3,010 students with scores of 90% and above and 163 have scored 100 in maths. In science, 54 students have hit a perfect 10, the highest in the country. But, on a national scale, the figures don’t look good. Delhi’s 60.84% pass percentage compares poorly with Chennai’s 90.74%, Ajmer’s 87.70%, Chandigarh’s 82.21% and Allahabad’s 80.60%.Countrywide, 13,853 students made it to the merit category.

Then, languages seem to have tripped city students big time. An abysmal 10 students got more than 97% in Hindi course B an option popular with private schools while no one made it to the merit list for course A.

Statistics:-

· Delhi’s pass percentage 60.84 up by 1.09%. Still compares poorly with Chennai (90%), Ajmer (87%) and Chandigrah (82%).

· 163 students scored 100 in maths. Guwahati (206), Chennai (203), Allahabad (1 82) far ahead

· Only 8 students managed higher than 97% in English. The figure in Allahabad is 49.

· Delhi outperforms other zones in science as 54 students score 100.

· 163 score 100 in maths

In contrast, Chennai came up with 122 winners. Again, in English, only eight got scores higher than 97% while Allahabad had 49 Students on the merit list.Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalaya: and Kendriya Vidyalayas came up trumps. Their pass percentage was 93.92% and90.82% respectively. And even though the 2005 Class X toppers are from private schools, the pass percentages of these institutions was only 86.36%, a drop from last year 87.10% and significantly lower than that of KVs and JNVs.Government schools logged shocking performance with only 48.03% students passing the exams. Incidentally, last year, it we a more respectable figure of 50.77% for them. Perhaps a reflection of the poor job Delhi government is doing in running the city schools
