CBSE class 10 results 2015: Pass percentage 99.03%; shows overall dip across Chennai regions

Over 13 lakh students had appeared for the CBSE Class X examinations this year. The results, supposed to be declared two days ago, were postponed as the board wanted to release results of all ten centres at the same time. Last year the results for all regions were announced on May 21. In the past years, students from the Chennai region, of which Maharashtra is a part, would receive their results a day earlier. The overall pass percentage, across centres, has declined this year. From 98.87% in 2014, the pass percentage has gone down to 97.32% this year.
