Pass Percentage In CBSE Class XII: As govt schools maintain standards, private schools show dip

It was in 2015, when the AAP government had been in power barely for three months, that Delhi government schools pulled a stunner. While private schools bagged a pass percentage of 85.48 per cent in the CBSE Class XII board exams, government schools were ahead by over three percentage points with 88.22 per cent. It was not surprising that government schools had outperformed private ones – it had happened earlier in 2009 and 2010. What was surprising was the dip in pass percentage of private schools, which fell from 92.09 in 2014 to 85.48 in 2015.
