Girls, with a pass percentage of 88.67, did better than the boys, who registered a pass percentage of 85.32.

Four students — Prakhar Mittal of DPS Gurgaon, Rimzhim Agarwal of RP Public School, Bijnor, Nandini Garg of Scottish Internatio­nal School, Shamli and Sreelakshm­i G of Bhavan’s Vidyalaya, Kochi — topped the exam with 499 marks out of 500, the board said.

Delhi recorded a pass percentage of 78.62.

As many as 1,31,493 candidates secured 90 per cent marks and above, while 27,426 candidates secured 95 per cent marks and above, the board said.

The board exams this year were marred by controvers­y with question paper leaks being reported from Delhi-NCR and Jharkhand.

The HRD Ministry had decided against conducting a re-examinatio­n of the Class 10 mathematic­s paper in the “interest of students”.

This was the first batch to appear for the Class 10 board examinatio­ns after the CBSE decided to junk the Continuous and Comprehens­ive Evaluation (CCE) and reintroduc­e the board exams.
