‘Dear Students, parents and teachers, @cbseindia29 has announced the results of class XII and can be accessed at cbseresults.nic.in. We congratulate you all for making this possible. I reiterate student’s health and quality education are our priority,’ was the message.

It is worth recollecting that declaring CBSE 12th result 2020 was a challenging affair as the process of conducting the exam itself came to a grinding halt on two occasions.

The first time 12th exams came to halt due to violent protests with regards to CAA. The exams had to be stopped for the secondtime due to corona virus outbreak this year.

There were attempts to conduct CBSE exams for 12th standard along with that of 10th standard exams. There were dates annouced lateron and much discussions took place.

However, exams could not be conducted and recently the cancellation of exams was announced. The cancellation was made public amidst the rising opinion of many students and parents to do away exams citing the reasons of safety.

Assessment was carried based on marks scored by students in other subjects and allotted marks in the subjects for which exams were cancelled.

CBSE 12th result 2020 was ultimately declared bringing cheers for all. CBSE 12th result 2020 can be checked on the official website of CBSE at ‘cbseresults.nic.in’

For checking the CBSE 12th result 2020, students can go to the official website mentioned earlier. Post the download of the website, appicants must click the required link for result.

Once the link is clicked, candidates have to enter their school code and roll number and press the submit button to obtain CBSE 12th result 2020.

This year there has been a delay till July for declaring CBSE 12th result 2020, the same was declared on 2 May last year and pass percentage in the previous year stood at 83.40.

There is more to it than meets the eye as far as CBSE 12th result 2020 is concerned. About 38,686 students have scored above 95 percent. About 1,57,934 students have registered a score more than 90 percent.

CBSE 12th result 2020 further says that Jawahar Navodaya Vidyalayas and Kendriya Vidyalayas have registered a pass percentage of 98.70 and 98.62.

The next point of focus after releasing CBSE 12th result 2020 is the optional improvement exams. Sources say, CBSE intends to conduct improvement exams when the situation is conducive.

The results of the students who wish to sit for the improvement exams will be revised and marks will be allotted after that.

Students must remember that marks attained in the improvement exam will be treated as final. Students must remember that if they cannot check the CBSE 12th result 2020 as of now, it is because the official website could be down.

Since many students may try to access the CBSE website to know the 12th result at the same time, the official website would turn non-responsive. In such cases, students need not be worried, they can wait for sometime and then try knowing the CBSE 12th result 2020.
